Based on the symptoms you described, it is possible that the issue is related to the valve body of the transmission. The valve body is responsible for controlling the flow of hydraulic fluid through the transmission and is made up of various valves and solenoids that regulate pressure and flow.
When the winter drive is engaged, the transmission may be bypassing the valve body and locking into third gear directly, which would explain why it starts in third gear when winter drive is engaged. However, the hard shift from 2nd to 3rd and the inability to shift into 3rd without winter drive suggest a problem with the valve body.
It's also possible that there could be a problem with the transmission control module (TCM) or the wiring and electrical connections between the TCM and the transmission. A diagnostic scan tool can help identify any error codes or other issues related to the TCM.
Given that you have already replaced the 2nd to 3rd shift solenoid without any improvement, it may be best to have the transmission inspected by a professional mechanic or transmission specialist who can perform a more thorough diagnosis and determine the exact cause of the problem. They may also recommend a rebuild or replacement of the transmission if the issue is more serious.

... Doctor, explores the causes of harsh shifting in automatic transmissions. ... Early diagnosis is important to ...
You have too much fluid in the transmission. Park on level ground. After a 15 min drive. Leave engine running. Set parking brake. Transmssion in neutral. Check tranny fluid. A cup or more over will cause this. Better to have less than too much. Drain at least a full 1 leter bottle. Go for drive check it again. As above.
I can explain the sluggishness you get after the fault occurs and the light appears. The rodeo will go into what's called 'limp home mode' when it detects a fault. It is a safety feature that locks the car in second (or third) gear so u can get home or to the mechanic...slowly. If you turn the car off and re-start it will re-set. I recently was having transmission problems with my 2002 v6. It would occasionally clunk badly when pulling up to a slow stop. Intermittent problem that I couldn't reproduce with the mechanic (of course). They changed the transmission oil which was low and old, not a cheap job but probably a good idea. Unfortunately problem was still there. Plug in diagnostic module at transmission specialist showed no current faults when they first checked it, but a look through the fault history when I took it back and told them problem was still there showed a fault with the TPS or Throttle Position Sensor. Replaced that (not very expensive) and its been perfect ever since. May not be your problem, but get the transmission guy to check fault history, not just current faults. Don't know why my guy didn't do it the first time. Best of luck
sounds like third gear went south for the winter and it is not coming back. take it to a tranny shop and don't be too surprised when they hit you with a repair estimate of a $1000.00 and up as they might just have to overhaul the whole thing(sorry i know that this is bad news but itis what it is)
What you need to check is the transmission release bearing because if there is a clearance on the release bearing you will encounter this problem and also check the transmission oil.
ck ciggeret lighter fuse if it blows makes trans do funny things same with honda passport or trans controler going bad lighter fuse controls trans controler

I am having the same issue. Did you ever figure out the cause for this?
