I start my job tomorrow and need a car to get to work. Just paid 400 in labor to drop in a new tranny (rebuilt, has 89k miles) and torque converter into the car. If it is a simple reason the car isn't shifting I can have the car done before work tomorrow.
The mechanic who dropped it in says it only shifts into first gear and that is it. Now the transmission is good, it came from F34R and was stored and cared for.
If the tranny was bad it would not shift at all (like the previous one), correct? F34R had mentioned that the mechanics of something was not hooked up correctly, and maybe it could have something to do with the Speed Censor ECU? He is unfamiliar with automatics so he wasn't entirely sure.
Bottom line, what things would cause an automatic tranny to only shift into first? What aspect of the mechanical was not hooked up correctly?
(For financial reasons I had to drop in another automatic, please forgive me!)
Thanks so much guys!
