You are going to think I am crazy! Trust me, 4 months chasing the same issue. When I was blessed by meeting a old mechanic that laughed and shook his head at me. Nevermind all of that, change the ignition module that sits just under the steering wheel. You can actually change it by removing the lower column cover. I believe the part is like 40 bucks, takes like 30 minutes to change out, and your world will go back to awesome, and absolutely no time or money spent at the transmission shop. Hope this helps many many people.

SOURCE: 97 gmc pickup with automatic transmission trouble

1st thing to do is test the system for codes, the problem is most likely a failed or stuck shift solenoid indside the trans, have you ever serviced the trans, sometimes a fluid and filter cahnge will cure these kinds of issues.

You don't have a clutch in that automatic, check your transmission fluid first. Make sure you run your truck for 10 min. or so before you check the fluid level. If your fluid is correct then take it to a mechanic, they can check your transmission with their computer and see exactly what is happening when it can't find 4th gear.

I got a 1994 GMC Sierra it reads a Code 32 can't find out how to solve?

OBD1 fault Code 32 means that the EGR valve is either not working or the gas passages in the intake that deliver the exhaust gases from the EGR are plugged with carbon and sludge, this is one of the most common causes of a GM OBD1 fault code 32. Remove the EGR and see if you can blow compressed air through the gas passages under the valve, I will bet one of the two or both are plugged up.

My 1990 automatic GMC Sierra wont shift out of 2nd, it just revs higher and higher. Any advice? (It will shift from 1st to 2nd when I take my foot off the gas)

Check your transmission fluid, if it is low, the transmission cannot shift into the correct gear from lack of hydraulic pressure. Be sure to check it while the truck is running.

If it is full, you may need to change the fluid and filter; over time the fluid will break down and trash the filter leading to low pressure problems which is why your truck fails to shift any more than 2nd.

Another problem may be that the torque converter is failing to lock yet again from lack of hydraulic pressure or its just worn out.

rec check fluid first. If trans fluid hasn't been changed in last 30,000 miles change fluid, filter and pan gasket. At that time inspect for foreign materials in bottom of pan or on magnet if you have one. If truck has over 100K and fluid was never changed you may have more problems if changing the fluid.

I have a 94 gmc sierra with 350 that has problem shifting to 2nd

Your problem likely resides with the hydraulic valve that operates the band for second gear, or lack of hydraulic pressure in the transmission. If the actuator in the transmission that operates second gear is getting sticky, then it will cause this. A filter change and flush may help, but it's likely time to start looking for someone to tear down your transmission, or replace it.
