Throttle Postitioning Sensor - 95 T4R 3vze

Hey folks,
I recently installed a new transmission (reman) in my 4runner and I am still having some shifting issues. Mainly I feel it when trying to use the passing gear. It doesn't know gear to go in - it seems like. SO, Im thinking it might be a bad TPS. I ohm'd it out and it read open (infinite) on the 2 separate IDL-E2 tests. The other 3 tests came out within the resistance ranges. It just seems like I would be having other noticeable problems if that TPS were bad. Any ideas?? Thanks in advance.

There should be a switch attached to the shifter that tells the ECM what gear it's in, maybe that needs adjusting. Or the kick down cable (if there is one)

Passing gear? I don't think these are fast enough to have a passing gear.
Try hitting your OD off button manually to see if that helps get you to a performance level you want. Maybe do this on an onramp as a test. You can also go through the gears manually to check that everything is working and just needs an adjustment.

adjust your kick down cable, make sure it didn't get broke off at the base during installation

It appears to be working...

I checked everything you guys said. It all checked out. I had set the kick down cable adjustment per the Haynes manual, initially. I put all the slack out and now it works perfect. Not sure why this is the case but it works great now. Thanks for all the help guys! I really appreciate it.
