hi , you may need to get the gear box oil level checked as this seams that it may be a little low , you could also tryrunning the engine for a minute or so , this would allow the oil to warm up and hopefully engage the first gear correctly , regards mark

Hi! Your car might went to limp-home-mode to prevent further damage. Check the valves for it might be sticking on the transmission valve body assembly. Its just gonna be it, nothing else. Hope this helps and have a good one!

My 03 Hyundai sonata 2.7 v6 gets stuck in 3RE gear how do I fix it

automatic transmission?
we can not guess your skills
the question is how a tech can fix it not you, you have no tools
real.
what means 3RE? (why the RE there)"
ok typo day, 3RD (D is below E) got it.
now and answer and told here 10000 times and googled 1million times. or more
check all fuses
then scan the PCm (TCM) for DTC errors then we look them up in the real service manual and amazing it tells you what to do next
as in LOTS more tests with meters and gauges.
stuck in 3rd gear means what.?

  1. shift lever stuck (as in will no move.
  2. in drive, car starts off in 3rd gear, now that be rare. but possible.
  3. in reverse cars goes forward but in 3rd gear.
  4. or coasting the transmission never goes below 3rd gear called engine transmission natural braking actions and auto downshift features. happens foot off gas pedal.
  5. or means overdrive or TCC lockup failing?
A/t boxes do lots of things, even wrong, but not told clearly here.

Shifter is in neutral. Why is manual transmission stuck in 3rd gear?

Internal transmission breakage has stuck the thing in 3rd gear. Stalls when putting in other gears because transmission is then being put into 2 gears at once. Better look into getting another transmission of having the current unit overhauled and repaired.

1st 3rd and 5th gears are spongy to shift into

Start with the firs post and have those cables and linkage assembly looked at if those are good then what you have is a loose bolt on the transmission that bolt is responsible to keep the gear in place when loose the transmission will do what you described as well nothing more nothing less.

Tranny stuck in 3rd gear

If it's a manual and it's stuck in 3rd gear, it could be the clutch master or slave cylinder does not have enough hydraulic fluid to release the clutch.

If it's an automatic, then there is an internal problem to the transmission. Possibly the shift solenoid is plugged up or damaged or defective.

If it's an automatic and you can't shift out of the 3rd gear, at the shifter, then there is a problem with the transmission linkage, maybe.

93 Chevy, gear shift **** between 2nd and 3rd

Remove the fluid - get a good flash light - get a very long screw driver - put the screw driver into the drain hole and force the transmission out of gear. Then remove the Transmission and replace or repair. Cheaper to replace. You bent the forks on the shift mechanism.

Had no problems with transmission ,came to a stop put in reverse would not go put back in drive and will only go in low gear

I take it the shifter will work at all selections made. The problem pertains to the automatic shifting inside the hydralic pump only which a transmission is. if its stuck in low gear the solenoid for 2nd & 3rd gear is bad. That will leave you in 1st gear only all the time until the bad solenoid is replaced

Car stops moving in reverse gear

Sounds like the car is just slipping out of gear. Keep your hand on the shifter when you back up next time. See if you can feel the shifter move when the car comes out of gear. If the shifter moves up when it happens keep pressure on the shifter holding it back like you dont want it to move forward. And of course if the shifter moves back when it comes out of gear, put forward pressure on the shifter so it doesnt slip out. This might work for now but but i know i wouldnt want to spen 700 for that ****. Let me know how it goes.

1990 nissan 300zx

I assume this is an automatic transmission. Is it a twin turbo or a non-turbo model? It sounds like you've lost fourth gear and are stuck in 3rd - those RPM would be about right. If you can provide more information, it will probably help in the diagnosis.
