Automatic transmission wont shift out of third gear

The transmission control module is responsible for correct shifting of transmission.it is on side of tranny. the throttle position sensor takes all the necessary measurements and sends it over to the Electronic Control Module on transmission to make it shift, if its ok! Try by changing the shift module on transmission. If this will not work check or change the TPS and check for a bad wire also. Hope this helps you out! God-Bless!

Automatic transmission the car drives for 5 mins and will stop if i put it off and start again it will go for another five min

I believe the problem you do have with your auto-transmission,is with the electronics,probably with ECU of the gear box. By switching off the car and restart and the gear box works for five minutes and then the same thing again from the beginning, is like by switching off you do clear and reset the program of your ECU.
It is recommended to apply to a qualified Garage for a better and safe repair.
Good Luck.

Check the condition of the trans fluid. If it is black the trans is proably worn out. You could take it to a kia dealership and ask them to reset the adaptives on your transmission.

Hi,
Get your Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) checked, it could be old or low. May be time for Transmission flush, too.
