this could be a transimision sensor. Make sure your tranny fluid is full while it is running. A would recommend a product called lucas transmision. It revives trannys. Make sure you pull out tranny fluid, then replace with lucas so you do not overfill your transmission

What is wrong with a 1996 Geo Metro LSI that shifts to 1st and 2nd but wont shift to 3rd and it is a automatic?

Make sure your fluid is on full, while the car is running. You could try a good transmission additive ( Lucas transmission) I would strongly recommend this product. If you fluid level is full, make sure to drain some fluid, then replace that amount with Lucas. Otherwise, it could be the transmission sensor or similar
