Trans flush ... Where to connect the hose????? 850 1994

Dan,

Well, the flush is definately a good thing since it will be the first, but the PNP switch is notorious for starting to fail when the weather gets colder.

If you go out tomorrow morning, put the shifter in 3 instead of DRIVE and see if the shift is normal.

When my switch was dying, there was no code and several mechanics said I needed a new tranny. I new nothing was wrong with the tranny and then I found this site and read about others that had the same problem.

It'll get worse and will seem like it'll never shift out of 1st (until it really warms up). If you get the RPMs real high and it still won't shift, you'll likely get the "arrow-up" on the dash to appear and then the tranny will go into safe mode. It'll feel like you're starting off in 3rd gear instead of first.

I'll bet it's the PNP/neutral safety switch.
