Auto gearchange my aerodeck 98 m.y wont hold second gear & at 5500 revs changes to 3rd gear even though it is selected 2nd gear?speed sensor fault or ?ecm??adjustment prob..with mechinism.?electrical?

hi, i would like to warn u that i had this issue with the same car, eventually the gear box stopped going above 2nd gear ,would not change up even in semi manual,i was told i needed new gear box,had a recon box fitted, but now the garage says i need a new computer cause it not communicating with the gear box properly,cost so far 1200 pound + what ever computer cost, fingers crossed this works

Take off with it in 2nd, and see if you even have 2nd gear. If not, your transmission needs servicing.

The likely problem is the VSS or vehicle speed sensor. The transmission uses the speed from the speed sensor to determine the shift points. You should have the check engine light on it will probably show a code for the speed sensor. Hope this helps!

first.the mot is a govenment safety check,it is not a mechanical/electrical fitness test.so it passed an mot.....
now the gearbox W is for winter setting,it allows the car to pull away in 2nd gear and change slightly higher,NOTHING ELSE.
the gearchange has nothing to do with cruise control..or vice versa...
if the car wont go into/allow you to change then either its the selector plate or the gearbox inhibitor at fault......could go anytime.

There is problem in the gearbox.The sincronizers for a first & second gear are on the same gearswitch.Need to change them.Forget about the clutch.

the gearbox is a "fuzzy logic"system.gearchange depends on accelerator pedal position/revs/load.if you drive without depressing the gas peddle more than a third down you should find all gearchanges much smoother.(if you drive with gas peddle almost hard down all the time yhe car will hold gears longer...poss 4500 revs or more......

sounds like the selector box at fault but change the auto oil and filter with some treatment and this should solve youre problem

either repair or replace the transmission...sounds like the sensor went out

you need to replace clutch pack for that gear can be ordered seperately from parts store or dealer if you want to save money call peach street auto recycling at 1800-365-2341 for a warrantied used one! also might be time for change trans filter and fluid filter could be slightly clogged but I lean towards clutch pack I replace these alot on Hondas
