97 breeze won’t shift (a/t)

Jun 16, 2008 2 Replies

I was leaving the driveway this morning, windows down music at a good level and started down the road when i noticed that the rev?s were around 3000, let off the accelerator and it wouldn?t shift so i tried to get it to shift by putting it in 3rd and then low and nothing it stayed in the gear which i assume is first..what could this be?


It sounds like it went into limp mode. When one of the transmission sensors reports a problem, the transmission will remain in second gear.

The best thing to do would be to take it to a reputable transmission shop that has the appropriate scan tool. If they merely want to do a "test drive," take it somewhere else.

It may be as simple as a sensor failure, all the way to needing a rebuild. The transmissions in the "Cloud Cars" have been fairly reliable.
