automatic gear problems

Hi 2 u all, could anyone help - having had my 98 grand voyager 3.3lx for nearly two years i'm experiencing problems - the gears seem to change for no reason rather than the previous comfortable exchange - they change down for no reason and it seems she cant decide what gear to be in - at low speeds she keeps going up and down the gears for no reason - furthermore when getting upto to higher speeds she wont go into top gear and high revs in the lower gears - can anyone offer any advice / tips prior to me getting an expensive garage bill, thanks in anticipation of any responses

It sounds like one of your transmission speed sensors is on the edge of failing. When the TCM doesn't get an adequate signal from one of the speed sensors, it goes into limp mode where it forces it into 2nd gear.

If that's what it is, the sensors are $20-35 each. A 20 minute DIY job.

There could be other explanations, but that one comes to mind.
