2004 dodge stratus won't shift out of low gear

SOURCE: 1997 dodge stratus with transmission problems

We have the same proplem and replaced the sensor didnt help. Could there be another reason the car will do this? ( this was the one on the front right side of transmission).

I had the same problem - it was a fuse that controls the speedometer and the shifting solenoid

Check the input shaft and output shaft speed sensors on the transmission. One is likely bad.

There is a small pipe threaded plug on the drivers side of the tranny about half way up the body and aroun the rear center from front to rear. When removed,fluid should flow from the hole(providing the vehicle is level on all axises), if not, fill to top of the hole with new gearoil or tranny fluid whichever is specified in your manual. Thank you, Dana

Testimonial: "Thank you for the info. I thought that was the plug used to check the fluid level, but wasn't sure, since the ownwer's manual just says to check it."
