Trans stuck in 2nd or 3rd gear, help
Ok, I am a full time mechanic so I can probably figure this out but wanted to see if anyone ran into this. 95 SSEi, runs ok but after it gets hot it won't go into first gear, It'* feeling like 2nd or 3rd. No other trans problems to report. Has 153,000 miles on original trans. Any idea which solenoid to look at? Thanks

This is kinda a tossup, but did the '95 have a vacuum modulator? Because that is one of the things, that when fails will give you 2nd gear starts. That'* all I can think of.

the 94 modulator went and also had a wire that wasnt feeding enough voltage to the transmission sensors and alot of my other sensors. i got that replaced and they rewired that connection because it was tripping a QDM failure putting my car in limp mode which gives the car 3rd gear start offs after it is warm.

Have you had a scantool on it? Sounds like a slipping Torque Converter to me. It'll feel just like that. Very typical when they get warm, they get worse. When was the last flush?

upon checking codes I found QDM B code 1650 but the shifting has gone back to normal. I think it'* for the 1-2 solenoid driver in the PCM.
