Several things can cause your transmission to be stuck in second gear. Broken or detached shifting linkage will cause the problem. A broken shifting for in the transmission can also cause the problem.
Bad synchronizer. Internal transmission repair required to fix.
car can be started an does run fine.
The transmission will only shift from 1st gear into second gear. It will not shift into 3rd, 4th or overdrive. Generally, temporarily used for pulling a heavy load like pulling a boat out of the water.
need more info.. is it a manual 4WD that you have to pull the lever on the transmission hump to engage the 4wd or is it push button 4WD?
Does it stay stuck in first gear? or does it change and when it changes does it seem to wanna slip... if it does shift and it shifts smoothly it might be the kick down lever that's going to the transmission... sometimes they can become rusty making the vehicle shift at much higher RPMs then normal, making you think that its the transmission. If its not that then it might be the bands, or servos... im not a transmission exspert, but I do know somethings about them... Also, it might be the filter... sounds weird, I know, but always check fluid levels and filter as well, a clogged filter or old fluid can make the transmission seem bad, when its actually just the fluid and filter... lots of things to consider... thanks, hope ive helped.
your transmission is out. your transmission is out.
Because it is in "Safe" mode.
The governor is stuck.
the tcm has a hard code stored and has gone into safe mode
The transmission computer defaults to second gear when it detects a malfunction and sets a code. You need to have the system checked with a scan tool to know possible causes.
If it's in limp-in mode you need to take it to a transmission shop and have it diagnosed.
you could either have a bad syncranizer or the throw out bearing is up
