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

What is wrong if a 1986 Chevy Astro shifts into first and second but when it hits third it sounds like you are flooring it will not shift any higher?
If this is an automatic transmission, which I am assuming it is it will not work the same as a standard. Only drive it in overdrive or 1st gear.

If your car is an automatic (not a stick shift) then the car will automatically shift down as you ease off the gas petal. If it doesn't down shift then you need to have the vehicle checked out to see what is wrong.

What is wrong with your 2004 f150 when it shifts hard into drive?
When was the last time you changed your transmission fluid? As the fluid gets older, transmissions start to shift harder, and you notice the shifts from gear to gear a lot more. It could also mean that your transmission needs repair.
What would cause a 1992 Honda accord EX to shift roughly in 2 and 3 gear its a automatic?
Wrong type A/T fluid installed or a internal transmission problem. Have the fluid changed and use nothing but genuine Honda ATF. The use of any other fluid will cause exactly what you are experiencing, rough shifts.
2000 jeep automatic is not shifting correctly after it gets hot why?
A 2000 Jeep automatic that is not shifting correctly after it gets hot might have something wrong with the speed sensor that is located in the transmission. The speed sensor tells the transmission what gear to shift into at certain speeds.
You have a LeBaron GTC and it does not like to shift you changed filter and fluid and it shifts now but not good?
I wish I could help, but I have change fluid and filter 3 times now and it still is giving me shifting problems. Sorry Make sure you used the right fluid... ATF+3, #7176 specially formulated for the Chrysler A604 (41TE) 4 spd automatic. I just returned from the transmission shop who repaired leaks in my tranny. They put in the wrong fluid and the car searched to shift and "bump shifted" into 1st when stopping. I made them put the correct fluid in... and within an hour, the problem was gone. the A604 also has a electronic shift solenoid which has been a bit of problem on these transmissions, which will cause it to shutter between shifts and down shift very hard, if it gets to severe the computer will only let the trans. stay in first gear, until the computer can have the code reset or flashed by the service shop. but this will repeat itself if the shift solenoid is faulty.
What happens if you drive in the wrong gear on a automatic car?
The transmission will shift to the appropriate gear, if it's functioning properly. Otherwise, you'll either run really high RPMs, or you'll bog down.
Why wont my 1984 Chevy S-10 automatic that will start up but not go into gear what is wrong?
The shift cable runs under the drivers side carpet. After many years of moisture and corrosion the cable seizes up and you can't move the shift into gear or it moves with great difficulty.
