2002 Auto Hyundai Accent stuck in second gear will not go up

My automatic Hyundai Accent will not shift out of second gear. It is stuck in 2nd like I am climbing up a giant mountain... My check engine light is on just had the transmission re-built in 2010. When accelerating it goes super slow I have to put my gas pedal to the floor and lift up slowly to go normal speeds. I try to trick the gears by going into lower gears and driving it like a manual, or pressing the overdrive button... Nothing works :( Please help!!

Having the transmission rebuilt in 2010 means that the tranny is 7 years old since service so there can be any amount of faults
run the fault codes to check for problem TCM, VSS, servos and solenoids
check the vacuum actuator for the transmission and vacuum lines
change the transmission oil
the engine light also reports on transmission failures

SOURCE: automatic transmission sounds like it stuck in 3rd gear

You need to check the transmission fluid level, if it is low the tranny will not shift. If, however, the fluid is to the proper level then you will need a new transmission.
Try putting new fluid in and look for a leak in the pan gasket, then all you may need is a transmission service. When the service is done the mechanic will look for pieces of metal in the old fluid, if found this is very bad and you will need a new tranny.
You might consider a new or used car, you can definately find a good deal out there!

SOURCE: Hyundai Accent losing power when hot

the engine losing power, check your coolant level, if it is extremely low the temp gauge will not show the engine is actually hot. The tranny sounds like you have a filter that is clogged, tranny fluid thins when it gets warm and will past thru a filter that is clogged, but in the morning the fluid is thicker and will not flow thru the filter without manually shifting it

SOURCE: Hyundai i30 Diesel automatic won't accelerate above idle at light

DOES THE ENGINE MIL WARNING LIGHT COME ON? WITH OUT MORE INFO YOU NEED TO CHECK MOTOR ON A CODE READER FOR STORED FAULTS, CHECK ALL AIR LINES TO EMMISION CONTROL, , SOUNDS LIKE YOU HAVE GONE INTO SAFE MODE, A SPLIT OR LEAKING PIPE ON THE INTERCOOLER IS A COMON FAULT ON THESE, IF YOU SWITCH ENGINE OF AND BACK ON QUICKLY WITH MOTOR RUNNING WITH OUT STALLING MOTOR AND IT CLEARS THEN IT IS PROBERLY THE SAFE MODE CUTING IN MEANING A FAULT HAS BEEN SEEN BY PCM

Testimonial: "Thanks.Didn't notice any engine lights came on. I had a problem free day today, but if it happens again will check warnings and PCM computer check"

Hi

Well two of the tranny codes ; P0734 and PO732 indicate gear 2,3,4 ratio incorrect. This can be caused by poor readings at the input and output speed sensors or pulse generators. The P1709 code is in reference to the kickdown servo switch.

Replacing the pulse generator set and TCM reprogramming( as per TSB) may solve your problem, otherwise you have a major component failure in the transmission unit. I would get some line pressures at the transmission checked first.

Sounds like the transmission is in fail safe mode, this happens when there is a transmission fault, you only have two gears 2nd and reverse.

Hope this helps - Steve

56 ducato van wont go into 1st 2nd gear easy

The shifter needs to be inspected. The shifter assembly is got misaligned, it has to be open and realign.


There are many other possibilities. But if it was working right up till now and suddenly this occurred then its shifter assembly alignment issue.


Also i suggest you to refer these gear shift issues, which are mostly noticed. These are direct links with appropriate solutions to the specific problems of gear ****.

Is it advisable to shift to 2nd gear directly from neutral in cars. what will be the damages.

the idea of being able to change manually in an auto box is that you have more control in snow and ice.
when in snow/ice you should pull away in 2nd gear(stops wheel spin).
you will do NO DAMAGE whatever.....

My car is stuck in second gear, the stick shift is just flopping back and forth. I can not change gears so I am driving with my hazards on and 20mph in second gear. Any thoughts

Is it a stick shift or auto tranny?

If stick shift then the shift fork may be bent thus why it's stuck or

A tranny mount is bad causing the tranny to lean on the shifter mechanism

Or you need a clutch adjustment.
