Have someone hook up a scanner and read what the computer is seeing. Could be any one of a number of sensors causing the system to default to limp in mode.

That's called "limp-in" mode and indicates a major failure. Get it to a shop to have the trouble codes read

SOURCE: shifting gears

the speed sensor is for Overdrive only, it does not shift the gears it sends the signal to the transmission control module that in turn signals the overdrive shift solenoid to engage/shift into OD.

SOURCE: 1998 zx2 automatic trans won't shift past 2'nd gear

Governor may be stuck. a solenoid may be stuck open, or stuck closed, or the transmission throttle cable has come undone at one end or the other or has come loose at the ajustment point.

Is the fluid level correct? Is the tranmission fluid correct? (foaming issue) Does the fluid smell burned significantly?

Will it shift if you let up on the accelerator for an instant and then step on it again? If it will shift while doing that, add some seal conditioner as you have a leaking servo seal or clutch apply seal. If that does not correct it after a period of time, the only real fix will be to pull the transmission and do a rebuild.

HI,
Search online..but it sounds like the 'synchros' in the transmission are going/gone.
Also, the clutch may be wearing out.

I got a 2000 grandcaravan an it stuck in 2 nd gear codes are 1784 0732 1782 0731 0700 0500 do i need to replace trnny or computer ?

Well code 500 is for the speed sensor which could cause most of the other codes.
I would probably replace the speed sensor in the trans and check the connections, clear the codes then drive it again and see how many codes come back.

The speedometer is operated by a cable to the transmission. The gear selector is also a manual linkage. Neither are electronic. There may be something stuck underneath inferring with them directly.

1998 Dodge Grand Caravan will not shif into 2nd

Most likely the second gear section of the transmission has gone bad. There are 3 or 4 different gear sections or assemblies in an automatic transmission, when they go bad, they go bad.

TRANS STUCK IN 3RD ON A DODGE CARAVAN 2000

The mechanic should check the third gear of the transmission . And the shift gear check the shift gear too for why it stuck while on the third gear. if the gear is worn out or destroyed then replace the third gear.Then also look and check the oil seal to make sure the problem is solved. then check and adjust the shift lever sleeve so that it will not stuck.
