How do you get a 1987 Mercury Topaz automatic transmission to shift into high gear?

My 85 Topaz auto is doing the same thing...in a 'phone diagnostic
discussion w/a transmission specialist, he suggested the most
likely culprit to be a governor either on or in the tranny, which
operates by hydraulic pressure to change gears at certain speeds
and RPMs. Apparently I'll have to have it repaired. However, I'm
going to change the fluid first, to see if that has any effect. As of
this date, 3-8-'10, the repair estimate is in the $300 ballpark.

1994 mercury topaz with automatic transmission does not shift out of first gear rpm's go up but no tranny response help is there a sensor or switch that may be faulty and where is it?
The switching is done within the transmission by internal pressure. YOu may just be low on fluid. I have had this happen to my 93 topaz three times (plus a fourth that happened before I got the car). Every time it happened the fluid level was full. The tranny used (ATX) on the topaz has a governor on it. If the governor is not set right it will not shift. I have had to have the governor gear replaced Dec. 2005 because of this. Once you have one problem with the transmission you may have problems the rest of the car's life. I am now on my 4th transmission.
Why can't you shift gears on a 2000 VW Jetta with a automatic transmission?
You can't shift gears on an automatic transmission because, as it is called, it's automatic! You don't need to shift, it does it for you. == == Maybe the question should be "Why is my automatic transmission not shifting through gears for me as it should?" Could it be a fairly simlpe fix or am I losing my transmission? Yeah Dopey!
