You don't have torque converter shudder. You don't even mention that in your original post! You def had a solenoid issue. My 94 STS did the same thing. I only had reverse, 1st and 2nd gear. Wouldn't shift outa 2nd period. It was a $200 solenoid repair. Car had a 160K on it when that happened. I have almost 170k on it now. Shifts and works fine. you don't need the tranny replaces ad josavv63 indicates.

The filter was not staying in place and would not build presure with the new shift solenoids. Would only build 60 pounds and needs alot more had to put on a scaner to figure it out.
Thanks for all the info.

Why does my engine run hot and lose power when I am 4 wheeling in the mud?

Check engine fan operation and make sure radiators not packed with dirt and debris.When your on the highway you have the speed you are traveling at air cooling the radiator.

My 95 Cadilac DeVille hesitates to go in to gear when I put it in drive, but if I shift to L1 it goes right into gear?

Usually a sign of a pressure problem inside the transmission.
Could be a weak pump, dirty filter, plugged valve body, or various other causes. A transmission shop should be able to check pump pressure without removing the trans.
