I have been reading up on some of the other automatic transmission issues addressed by NISTECH folks, hoping it would correct my problem as well, but so far, no luck. I have been reading the thread posted by some of you guys and NISTECH regarding intermittent shifts between 1st and 2nd gear (It sounds like I need 240Rocks as my neighbor). I tried all of the electrical sensor disconnects suggested in the thread, but still no luck. My specific problem is that the trans shifter goes into R, D and 2, but will not go into 1. Also, the trans will not upshift or downshift, only stays in third gear. I disconnected, cleaned, left disconnected, and re-connected all of the sensors mentioned in the other thread (Revolutions Sensor, Speed Sensor -found by accident, as well as several others located in the general area of the fuse box. Still no luck. Everything is a little cleaner, but still no shifting. My next thought is to drop the pan and address solenoids and the valve body, but I'm a remove and replace kind of guy, very little diagnostic know how. If someone is familiar with this issue, please steer me in the right direction. 09quickly.

As I have little experience fixing Autos, I'd probably end up just picking up a used transmission from someone who's done an auto-to-manual swap. Or you could swap to 5spd yourself...
