Re: Automatic shifting troubles

["Harold McElraft" <hmcelraft@xxxx>]

Sounds like classic governor failure. Does the gear selector have 
any effect? If you pull fuse number 13 the computer is disconnected 
and the trans should lock up in 3rd gear. If that happens then the 
trans is probably ok. There is a way to check the trans manually at 
the diagnostic plug but see what pulling the fuse does for you. You 
can drive it but your takeoff is slow and can heat up the fluid if 
you work it too hard.

about 3 miles down the road, I will have the car in 1st going down 
the road and it sticks in 1st. If I try to accelerate, I get nothing 
but engine reving; the engine simply will not go from 1st to 2nd - 
it is solidly stuck in 1st. When trying to go to 2nd, it's almost as 
if it's in neutral, and you can hold the pedal down all you want - 
it will not go from 1st to 2nd. IF I come to a complete stop and hit 
the accelerator, she will drive no problem but only in 1st gear; the 
car will simply not go to 2nd or 3rd What I don't understand is it 
works just fine the 1st 10 minutes or the first 2-3 miles...then all 
of a sudden that problem pops up.

Thank you for your time everyone.
