SOURCE: olds aurora wont shift outof 2nd gear

You will need to get the computer scanned for this concern. The "neutral switch" has been replaced with a Multi lever positioning switch. When the shifter has been moved to a selected gear, the computer turns on different solenoids to make that gear work, along with a manual lever in the trans valve body. I feel you will find a couple P07-- codes, as to what may be wrong inside your transmission. It may be a simple repair, as possibly a vehicle speed sensor, but the codes will help get you a flow chart as to the problem.

SOURCE: I have a 2002 Silhouette that won t shift into 4th, stays in 3

it may have worn valve body coponents or there stuck, the first thing i would try is a bg trany flush, this helps 75% of the time and its cheaper than a rebuild, its worth a try, you may even ask to have the filter changed if its never been done,

SOURCE: I'm having a problem with the gear shift button.

The shift selector linkage can get sticky once in a while. Put your parking brake on and with the car off put it into 1st or 2nd gear then pull the handle off of the shifter. Remove anything in your cup holder and then you can snap off the shift console cover and get to the shift linkage beneath it. Spray lithium or silicone grease into all of the adjoining linkage rods and work it in and out. Then do the same at the top of the shift selector lever that you pulled the handle off of and push down on the top of the little plastic knob protruding from the top of it...that is how you change gears. It may just be sticky only in THAT spot but it doesn't hurt to get everything while you have it apart. Good luck let me know!

SOURCE: I've got a '95 aurora

I had this problem and dealer said I needed a new tranny. Took it for second opinion at local trans shop and they replaced the shift switch in the tranny for $250.

96 mazda 626 not shifting into 4th gear

You basically need the trans rebuilt. The only way the speed sensor could affect any of the shifting problems is if it broke off into the trans. somehow. You could try checking the trans fluid first, or having it changed.

I have a 1995 Buick Century 6 cyl. The transmission shifts smoothly and into 4th gear but when I get to about 55 mph it shifts back into 3rd gear by itself and won't go back into 4th gear. What is...

Fourth gear in your vehicle doesn't exist. What feels like a fourth gear is the torque converter locking up. The lockup lockup is controlled by a solenoid in the side pan of the transmission, and the solenoid is controlled by the ECM (electronic control module) in response to several pressure, temperature and speed sensors etc. To determine which component is the problem you'll need a professional transmission mechanic with the proper diagnostic equipment.

Auto won't down shift when o/d button is pushed

This button only makes the gearbox change from 3rd to 4th or 4th to 3rd, will not down shift in any other gear, make sure it is in 4th gear, usually above 60km, than press o/d off it should go into 3rd gear, if it does not than see a automatic specialist, it is usually a sensor, if you go to Toyota they will charge you a fair bit.

96 gmc safari only goes into 2nd gear if i ease off the gas

Does reverse and 4th work? Do you have to back off for it to shift into 4th? 2nd and 4th use the same band to apply.

Transmission won't shift to 2nd and 3rd gears goes from 1st to 4th.

Doesn't sound like a simple fix. I would suggest having it serviced.

2000 toyota echo, transmission won't shift to 4th

First thing to do is check the fluid level if that ok you may want to think about having the transmission filter and fluid changed, there are other possibilities but check these first
