yeah so driving before my car decided to not shift out of 2nd gear anymore...it'll still drive, just wont drop to first and wont go to 3rd, just stays in 2nd....trans fluid is fine, anyone know what might be the problem, or do i gotta get the whole thing rebuilt? by the way its a 96 gle auto

 

got in this morning, started the car and the O/D light blinked for about 10 or 15 seconds then went off. when i hit the gas, my car was in 1st gear, then continued to shift smooth.. so now im really confused, anyone know what that means

 

Did you spin the tires lately, like on cattle guard/ice/slick conditions?

 

actually yeah, rained pretty hard last nite......

 

I recently had to have my trans. rebuilt and they told a tell tell sign of the trans. going bad is the o/d light blinking. Auto trans. has a series of clutches that change the gears and it sounds like yours are going bad. Thats the same thing mine did. Make sure if you have to have it rebuilt that whoever does it replaces the torque converter or it still may have a problem.

 

yeah it only blinked this morning and it hasnt done it since, the tranny shifts smooth tho was yours shifting hard or something?

 

i have a tranny for sale off of a 95 GLE. 110k miles, selling for 200 + shipping and i'm located in NJ if you ever need one. Only took out cause i did conversion. Works fine. Mostly highway miles.

 

Mine just stayed in second. It's like it just happened all at once. Starting driving funny on my way to my dad's house. got in to leave and no reverse. I only realized I didn't have 1st or o/d until I drove to the shop that monday.
