You have a major problem if it is not shifting into even into 2nd gear. Take it now before it develops into more. You have internal components not functioning correctly. I am assuming you have the proper amount of transmission fluid.

Do yourself a favor & get it scanned at transmission shop, or dealer & fixed as needed,(within reason) . Delaying it could cost lots of money. A rebuilt is about $1500-$2000.

Bring it back to the transmission shop and have them test drive it with the scanner to see if the Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) needs to be replaced. A worn TPS will case the transmission to have shifting problems, the TPE sends voltage signals to the PCM and will control the transmission shift points and firmness. If the TPS has a flat spot and the voltage is down at the point where the transmission needs to shift, there may be a conflict of shift program and needs to be addressed. Good luck and keep me posted.

Do you mean start the car in drive? if so that problem is inhibitor switch. Other shift problems can be caused by TPS (throttle posistion sensor) if applicable

Between first and second gear it shutters/vibrates

Low transmisson fluid, Transmission filter or faulty transmission pump, the pump usually will whine before it goes out tho, Im leaning towards the filter or low fluid. Check your transmission control selonoid.

1994 nissan altima sometimes sluggish at take off, high rpms when changing gears

This sounds like a slipping transmission , check the fluid level first and make sure its full, if its full then you have ****** problems and may need to have ****** rebuild done,

Another thing is to make sure the trans passing gear cable is connected at the throttle where the gas cable is.

CAR GOES INTO DRIVE BUT DOES NOT SHIFT OUT. WILL NOT EXCEED 35 MPH

Unscrew the wing nut on your air breather and lift it off. On the driver side of the car, on the side of the throttle body there is a bar/linkage that comes up from the side of the transmission that is supposed to be connected to the throttle body by a small plastic bushing/grommet fastener. As they age, they break off and will cause this delayed shifting. If you drive it hard enough it will eventually shift (35-40 mph) out of first gear. Probably wont shift out of second until closer to 65-70 mph. Same thing happened to me. I thought geeze this thing is not going to shift but it will. Should be a simple fix.

1994 ford tempo; vehicle upshifts late, won't shift until 35-40 mph after high reving fro 35 mph, then again at 65 mph after high reving from 55 mph to 65 mph.

Sounds like your transmission is on the fritz. Try changing the fluid and filter see if that helps. If that doesnt try a can of anti slip from any good parts place (Napa). If this dosent help it's time for a rebuild on the transmission
