Transmission Gremlins??

This afternoon, after work, I got in my car and started to pull onto the main road and the car just slowly creped onto the road like it was stuck in 3rd gear??? Tried to downshift into 1st and 2nd and nothing happened…. It ran all right when it got up some speed but it did this the whole way home.

When I got home, changed and went back out to look at it… I started it up and it drove it around the block it shifted normally???? What’s up with that!!! Has this happened to anyone else?? I think I’ve got gremlins!

Once mine would only use 3rd & 4th. It turned out to be a duty solenoid. I'm sorry I can't recall which one. Might be worth checking further into. or...

Place hands on the tranny case and scream "BAD TRANNY DEMONS BE GONE!!! It can't hurt but the neighbors will look at you funny.

Good luck.

If there is a problem with either shift solenoid, the trans will defualt to just using 3 rd, by turning both solenoids off.

Do a code check to see if it is the shift solenoids.
