right turn signal causes downshift

[bradical]

hey guys. ever seen a car that had an auto trans, w overdrive and cruise that using the right turn signal would cause a downshift or cancel cruise. any ideas? also engine misses a lot at high speed, under load(uphill). thanks in advance

When was your last tune up (plugs, wires, rotor/cap, etc)?

well, it has been a while. i did put plugs in it a couple of months ago. i just put a new trans in it last year when i ressurrected it from sitting for 2 years while i couldnt afford to fix the trans. little by little im trying to get caught up on maint.

So let me get this straight: you are driving, you put your turn signal on (right), and slow down for the turn (which causes the tranny to downshift), and if you use the brakes, the cruise shuts off... umm, hmm

Uh-oh, hope i wasn't too hard on this guy... sorry, just practicing my "verbal judo".
BTW: I haven't seen Wicked Sludge on here in awhile either, that guy was really smart.
