Check your tranny fluid/gear oil. Also the tv cable may be broken.

Btw, I’m available to help over the phone in case u need at https://www.6ya.com/expert/stephen_171aeeebef53a898

If tranny is manual shift you may have a bearing and or bad gear. Try changing tranny fluid. Check manual for correct fluid may use tranny fluid rather than gear oil. I recommend using Royal Purple fluid or gear oil. This very expensive but will slicken up the shifting and extend bearing and gear life.

Its more likely the tranny shift solenoids or the power wire going to the tranny. If the tranny loses its ignition feed (12Volts) it will default into limp home mode. This means neither shift solenoid has power and will be in the off position. When both shift solenoids are in the off position this is normally third gear. It will be very labored taking off from a stop being in third gear, but will allow you to still move (thus limp home). Astro vans were not known for it, however full size pickups with the same engine and tranny, would experience a bad ignition switch. It would disable the tranny circuit and no power would get to it, same symptoms. If it sometimes works it won't be a bad fuse, best to have it diagnosed at a reliable transmission shop to verify. Its not as expensive as a tranny overhaul.

it is going in limp mode,
if your speedometer is not working will cause this,that would be a speed sensor,or the other two reasons would be the input or output sensors on the tranny

i whould suggest taking the truck to a good service center and getting a tranny flush performed. sometimes when transmission fluid gets old and nasty it doesnt alow the transmission to perform correctly. hope this helps you.

be 1988 and Im sure it has high miles, sound like worn transmission, transmission flush and replace it with new fluid might help some. get use tranny from a junk yard better and cost lot less than rebuilt. being GM mechanic for many years i see transmission on a truck with 100k tend to have leaks or need rebuilding. again i see some have better luck but rear.

sounds like to prndl switch may be malfunctioning.
gear selector switch, which tells the transmission which gear it is in.

You rear planetary set is worn from a restricted cooler.

replace shift sensors under tranny pan their about $20 a piece. it worked for me you can even buy corvette sensors for it.
