Transmission wont shift to second gear - 1979 Pontiac Firebird

It is very likely that a complete rebuild is needed along with a flush out of debris and a new torque converter.

i take it is a automatic check gearbox transmission fluid or the torque converter may be at fault

Sounds like it is stuck in second gear. Overdrive only drops rpm by a couple hundred. In third gears you should still be less than 3,000 rpm.

Second gear is a default gear when the transmission is in limp mode. Is the check engine light on? Does it shift if you manual shift through the gears with the gear selector?

I had this same condition with mine while it was under the factory warranty. The dealer replaced the 3-4 shift solenoid in the transmissions valve body. After the repair, the transmission shifted great. Hopefully this helps you. Good luck.

any codes in diagnostics? was pump checked for proper pressure?

make sure your transmission fluid level not low if fluid level okay. other possible causes for transmission wont shift out of second could have stuck or faulty first and second shift valve.code scan for faulty VSS SPEED SENSOR.

This will help.

Thanks.

Most likely your shift cable (from the selector to the transmission) is worn, maybe needs lubrication. Mine had a similiar problem, but had to shift it into neutral and back up to get it in reverse. A new shift cable solved the problem.
