If you paid a mechanic to do the work, and the problem just started, take it back. Unless you replaced it yourself, you will void any warranty if you try to fix it yourself.

yea its not shifting again like before ? sounds like your transfer case solonoid has possably gone bad again .. these are a sometimes dont work item .. It is what shifts the transfer case into gear and it might be a little worn or weathered and not letting the switch kick it in gear all the way from the N position. thanks Jerry holler if you need more.

There isn't a modulator on this trans as it is electronic

You can have first gear going forwrd but no reverse. It is possible. The low/ reverse clutch isn't needed to go forward.

Your going to have to get the Jimmy scaned before youhurt the transmission, It sounds like it's on a Limp mode which can range from a tune up to a bad ground. Good luck.

Testimonial: "Thanks for the info. I ended up sell the jimmy and passed on the info to the buyer they also found it helpful."

YOU NEVER INSTALL A USED TRANS--- EVER
You took out junk & put in someone elses
Now you pull it out & have it properly rebuilt or buy a reman

How do you adjust the shift cable on a 1995 gmc jimmy, wont go into reverse or park.

On the 1995 Jimmy, the shift cable can come loose on the mount on the side of the transmission where the cable meets the trans. When it slips, the alignment goes off and causes the driver to not be able to put the trans into park. If you take a long stick you can push the shift arm on the trans to the park position and your trans will go into park.....what you (and I) really need to know is how to take the shift cable mount apart and reset it.

My 1997 GMC Sonoma SLS is stuck in park. I believe it is due to a failed stop light switch. Where is that switch located and how do I replace it. How do I by-pass that switch to get the truck out of...

The brake lamp switch is located on the brake pedal assembly under the dash. (See Diagram)

To move the vehicle, try this:

1. Turn the key to OFF.
2. Apply and hold the brake until the end of Step 4.
3. Shift the transmission to NEUTRAL (N).
4. Start the vehicle and then shift to the drive gear

My 1991 sonoma 2wd auto will only has low gear and reverse. Trans fluid looks ok. What could the problem be.

You broke the low one way clutch. The trans will need rebuilt. The truck should be drivable if you take off in Man 1, shift to Man 2 at about 12mph, then shift to drive at about 27, then shift into overdrive at about 42.
