Re: Why is'nt my transmission shifting, it only stays in...
If this is an Automatic transmission, then I would start by making sure that it has the proper amount of transmission fluid in it. This would cause it not to want to shift through the gears.

If it won't shift to 3rd and stays in second, bad shift solenoid/s. If it shifts and the transmission drops out(high RPM's), the bad clutches in the transmission. Rebuild. Solenoids around $600 to replace. Transmission rebuild around $2200.
try disconnecting cable to transmission turn the shifter on transmission manually down there connect cable again start car try it if not try it again turn once then connect cable again then try it if not the transmission is not good
is the trans fluid low or dirty(brown coloerd and has gunk in it?) take a white paper towel pull the stick out and look at the trans fluid on the towel..is there evidence of blackened stuff and aluminum shavings and stuff in it?..time for a fluid and filter change(this is always cheaper that total overhaul/replacement) good luck repost findings please..thnx
Check your shift cable it may be stretched or broken.Located on drivers side of tranamission.Have someone else shift thru the gears while someone looks at the shift lever on the side of the transmission to see if it shifts into and out of all of the gears.If it shifts in and out of all the gears then the cable is good and you have a internal problem.If it does'nt shift in and out of all gears then replace the shift cable.
Your torque converter lock up is defective, it is not turning off. I would replace the torque converter lock up solenoid first and change the fluid and filter, if that is not the fix the transmission will need to come out for rebuilding and the torque converter replaced most likely..
If you haven't replaced the transmission fluid recently then now is the time. If the fluid is burnt, the transmission tends to fail specially on hot temp. Please do check the transmission fluid first as a first course of action.
Sounds like you have a solonoid out in your transmission. No simple fix for this. You will more than likely have to drop the transmission to replace solonoid.
