#4632, "RE: 96 gs auto tranny not shifting out of 2nd even when i floor it" In response to In response to 0
Originally posted by sooster my sister has a 96 gs and she had a problem with the automatic transmission not shifting out of second and it was also slipping really bad. i checked the fluid level and it was low so i put enough in and now it doesnt slip at all..so the only problem now is that it wont shift out of 2nd. even with high rpms it still doesnt shift. i took it to the transmission shop and they said it was maybe the computer and not the tranny, or something electrical..any ideas on what it could be? anyone else had this problem? thanx
On my 97 GS it ended up being the relay on the firewall near the brake fluid resivoir. That realy allows the trannys computer to talk to the cars computer. When they cant talk to each other the car slips into "limp mode".
