You may need to replace your gear selector switch that might be located on the transmission at the gear input, or under the plastic cover around the shift knob in the passenger compartment. There are books you can get that will tell you what pins should be connected together in which gear selections. Another thing you can try is pull the TCM fuse if there is one, or the transmission control mod., fuse and let the transmission run itself. It will act differently but you should be able to figure if its the transmission or the electronic controller that is acting up. I had to change my transmission in my 91, and when I pulled my gear selector switch apart to clean it, I noted a bad connection inside and was forced to change it. One of my cooling lines had busted and blew out all of my fluid when I was going down the freeway.

What are the symptoms of automatic transmission failure?

What causes thisand is there anything I should be concerned about. Recently, I put some more transmission fluid in . could I have overfilled it?This should help:Complete automatic transmission failure is obvious because the car will not move at all when shifted into forward or reverse. Usually the symptoms of impending automatic transmission failure are not quite as dramatic, and can be inspected by a mechanic to determine if the transmission needs replacing or if there is any chance the problem can be repaired.Delayed ShiftingOne common symptom of automatic transmission problems is delayed shifting when the vehicle is cold, particularly for reverse or first gear. Loss of One GearSometimes one gear will go out entirely while the others still function. If fourth or reverse gear fails, for instance, the vehicle at least can be driven to a shop. Unusual Shifting SpeedsShifting may take place at unusual speeds, earlier or later than it should. The speed where shifting takes place also may keep changing. Noise and JerkingAny noise while shifting is a symptom of automatic transmission failure, and so is rough, jerky shifting. Odd MovementIf the vehicle tries to move while in park or neutral, it most likely has automatic transmission failure. Shift Lever IssuesIf the shift lever is difficult to move, this indicates transmission problems as well.
