Did it do it again or just that one time?

when was the last time your transmission was serviced? May just need fluid and filter changed. I know mine won't go into overdrive in the winter for up to 10 miles when it needs serviced. Also adjust the bands.

Could be TV cable adjustment

fluid is new filters are new and only does it right after i start it up either hot or cold it wont shift out of 1st for like a minute or so then after just idling down the street for a bit it is fine.

well earlier tonight i started her up and went out and it wouldnt shift for a mile or so then on way back it wouldnt shift at all out of 2nd gear. had to drive it over 10 miles in 2nd. got home and tried to pull codes and there is no codes. any suggestions greatly appreciated.
thanks in advance

Change the governor pressure solenoid and governor pressure sensor and it will shift.

Could very well be the RPM sensor on tranny extension housing. Not very expensive and easy to change. Check connector also. Always a good ideal to clean all heavy electrical connectors/grounds. Next would be the governor pressure solenoid and tranducer mounted on valve body.
Have the bands been adjusted also??

Jturs

bands were adjusted not to long ago maybe 5k miles ago at the most. how hard are those solenoid and transducers to change out?

Jturs

also remember i just recently started driving my truck again it was sitting for a bout a year and was driven just about every month and it would do it when it was cold then would be fine and now that im driving it more it does it all the time and now wont shift at all.

Jturs

well i just put in the shift solenoid and transducer and still wont shift any one else have any ideas.

thanks again in advance

How about the RPM sensor on OD unit???

Jturs

im goin check the rpm sensor tomorrow. but i was talking to someone in town and i was informed that if i unplug the connector on the tranny and try to drive that it will apply full pressure to 3rd gear and should start off in third gear and if not then 3rd gear is smoked or the seals between 2nd and 3rd are gone not allowing it to shift. anyone here of a test like this.

Your an EVIL person!!!
I read this yesterday and this morning my truck wouldn't shift out of first gear It was a little funky before but it shifted through the gears before this morning.
Since I need it for daily work I'm taking it to a tranny shop. I'll let you know what they say and how very bad the bill was.

Jturs

yeah tranny problems are never fun. but this morning i pulled the connector and it does have 3rd gear which tells me its gone yet.. . . . . but on another note i found some wires on the back of the main connector where the insolation fell apart and off and also the 3 wires on the sensor right below main connector. i gonna try to fix this up and see where it takes me. any input from you experienced guys would be appreciated.

thanks again
