Stuck in 2nd gear when driving for a while
it sounds like your transmission is overheating. second gear is the default limp home gear the trans goes to when it senses a problem. pull the plastic allen head drain plug on the bottom of the transmission and be careful to let just a little of the trans fluid drain. the fluid usually doesn't drain unless the drain plug is all the way out. it usually wont let a little out at a time... if the trans fluid is burnt, brown, black, or not a nice clear red, you'll need to replace the transmission.
