I just had that happen to my '95 Subaru Legacy wagon. It was stuck in 4th. Cluch would engage but couldn't get the stick shift to move. It finally gave way with my buddy rocking the car and me pushing the clutch in and moving the stick around.
My 1998 Nissan sentra wony shift into high gear
Is there a button to activate the overdrive on the transmission. If the button is activated and not in overdrive mode the car will never shift into 4th gear.
the sunshell gear is stripped out
You may have a broken transmission or be low on transmission fluid.
my 2001 ford windstar wont shift out of first gear.
A 93 Deville that wont shift from second gear has most likely got an internal transmission problem. Unless the linkage is mis-adjusted, then the problem is onside of the transmission.
could be the modulator valve has went bad !
The transmission computer will default to second gear only when it detects a malfunction and sets a code.
If the transmission won't shift out of first gear on a 1992 Buick Roadmaster, it could indicate the transmission gears are seized. It can also indicate a low fluid level.
the shift siliniod for AOD transmission is bad. it cost about 30 bucks and is usually special order
need more info.year,model.
transmission is DONE. Could be a sensor... with the van running, check the level of the transmission fluid....chances are you need to add some
