    Jack the vehicle up and secured for safety. The get under where the shifting gears are and put it in park and shift each gear from park and go through all gears. Make sure none of your brackets are hitting when you shift through all gears. You will need to remove the shifting cable so you can shift through all gears. If your transmission brackets hit anything then there is your problem. Adjust shifting cable so it is free of not hitting anything. You may have to relocate the cable bracket. Sometimes you can bolt it to the pan with a different mounting bracket. The shifting cable must be straight no kinks or bends where the additional adjustments are for the cable. If that’s all good make sure there is no slack in the cable that hooks to your shifter on the floor. Sometimes you can reset the shifting by locating the relay box and see where the lights light up and make sure the lights coincide with the gear that you’re in in your vehicle.

SOURCE: slight miss in engine, hard shift from 1st to 2nd long 2nd gear

Check both O2 sensor(s) and catalytic coverter.. P0420 means catalyst below threshold. Also check the sensor at the transmission and solenoid.

98 Trooper (4L30E automatic)won't shift into 3rd.

Based on the symptoms you described, it is possible that the issue is related to the valve body of the transmission. The valve body is responsible for controlling the flow of hydraulic fluid through the transmission and is made up of various valves and solenoids that regulate pressure and flow.
When the winter drive is engaged, the transmission may be bypassing the valve body and locking into third gear directly, which would explain why it starts in third gear when winter drive is engaged. However, the hard shift from 2nd to 3rd and the inability to shift into 3rd without winter drive suggest a problem with the valve body.
It's also possible that there could be a problem with the transmission control module (TCM) or the wiring and electrical connections between the TCM and the transmission. A diagnostic scan tool can help identify any error codes or other issues related to the TCM.
Given that you have already replaced the 2nd to 3rd shift solenoid without any improvement, it may be best to have the transmission inspected by a professional mechanic or transmission specialist who can perform a more thorough diagnosis and determine the exact cause of the problem. They may also recommend a rebuild or replacement of the transmission if the issue is more serious.

2000 larado won't shift from 2nd to 3rd

Hello. It seems your vehicle's transmission has to be rebuilt/replaced. Any automatic transmission that won't 'shift' from 1st gear into 2nd or 3rd gear has a 'worn' slave cylinder that 'slides' gears one way or another. 1st gear works yet 2nd and 3rd don't. Good luck and keep me informed; if you want to.

92 chevy s10 4x4 4.3L manual transmission no 3rd gear

Hi:

Your transmission has 3 shift rails...
1st - 2nd
3rd -4th
5th- Reverse

If your 3rd gear doesn't work , you have an internal transmission problem, such as a syncronizer, or similar fail... There is not much you can fix, without removeing the transmission.

Transmission problem in E230 Benz

What you need to check is the transmission release bearing because if there is a clearance on the release bearing you will encounter this problem and also check the transmission oil.
