I have a 2003 Pontiac Grand AM. Last night I noticed it did not want to shift above 2RPM's and it would slowly drop as I was going 55MPH. Id try and go above that and it would not shift....I dont know a thing about cars..so could you fill me in about what is going on? Thanks :)

Your vehicle transmission is electronically controlled by a computer , without hooking up a factory or professional scanner an checking sensor data parameters to the PCM - powertrain control module ( computer ) an codes ,we'd only be guessing . Your best bet , take it to a qualified repair shop an have it diagnosed .

My daughter has a 2003 with the same problem. She took it to a highly regarded transmission shop. They told her it is not the transmisison but an engine performance problem. She took it for an oil change to check the filters etc and the fuel filter is bad. I will follow up if that fixes the problem.
SOURCE: gear shift knob
Usually there is a small metal clip at the bottom front of the shift knob (looks like a staple.) Just pull it out and pull the knob straight up.

Your going to have to get your car scaned for codes. Auto Zone can scan it for you for free and tell your what you'll need to fix it.
It sound's like your VSS Sensor (speed sensor) is not working and your ECM is not getting the signal from the transmission to know when to shift the gears.
Becareful not to burn out the transmission till you get it fixed. The sensor it self is not that expansive and to replace it is easy and takes about 30 min to do.
If you get a P0720 or a P0722 code, then it's your speed sensor. It's an esy fix and Auto Zone can give you instrction on how to change it.
Good luck, it takes about 30 min to change and hope this helps.
