1997 transmission Slow Acceleration

My 1997 jimmy automatic transmission works great other than the drive gear. slow take off in drive, its like a standard taking off in 3rd until i hit about 50 km/h.then its fine. also overdrive doesnt work at hwy speeds. transmission works fine if i manual shift 1-2-drive. fresh filter and fluid. all other gears work great. i scanned it and the following codes come up i was just wondering where i should start fixing :) order in which scantool Canobd2 3130 lists

    found my problem all it was that my power plug on my transmission got unplugged somehow on the passenger side of transmission, had to change plug but now everything works great.

1992 Honda Accord LX Automatic stuck in drive, slow to go.

You have an internal transmission failure, have a transmission repair shop look at this and be prepared to have it removed for repair and rebuilding.

The check gearbox light comes on when you shift to drive (automatic transmission). The acceleration is very slow unless you shift it to 1 or 2. Once you get going you can put in drive and it will...

You need a new neutral safety switch. The car does not know what gear it is in so it goes into safe mode and sets off in third gear. There about £150 new but i got one from the scrap yard for a fiver. There is a guide on one website that shows you how recondition the switch but can't remember which one.

Automatic Transmission 1997 Legacy

This transmission requires overhaul, it is likely the only solution, second hand units are almost impossible to find.
