Camry 1994 - V6 Automatic - ODB II Code P1780 - Dangerously shifts from "D" to "1" while driving

Asked by eugkuo8053 Jun 17, 2013 at 12:59 PM about the 1994 Toyota Camry LE V6

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

My Toyota Camry 1994 V6 Automatic dangerously shifts from "D" Drive to "1" 1st gear while driving , causing the RPM to jump insanely. I've heard different ideas ranging from bad Park/Neutral Gear to bad ECU (Engine Control Unit) to bad ECT (electronic control transmission ) Anyone have any experience in this matter? I'm planning to fix it, but would like to be informed before going into the dealer. Thanks
