Stopped by the friendly neighborhood NAPA store, which gives me a shop price because of my employer, and picked up a TPS.

Paid the fat kid in the shop next door $20 to stick in on for me. (It's just 2 hard to reach screws on a very hot engine. Boy did that kid sweat!)

On the brief 1.5 mile test drive home it didn't kerchunk once, and I can always get it to do that on the collector road between here and the state highway. Now prior, the tranny would not drop into 1st until you were about 20 ft from coming to a dead stop and it was kind of a thud when it did. Now it's nice and smooth on the downshift, in fact, it seems to shift much smoother in general.

The shift points seem to have moved a little, but I suspect the driveline computer needs to learn the new TPS curve and they will return to normal.

I guess the drive to and from work tomorrow will tell the tale.
