There are tiny bearings and gears that make the trans shift smoothly and keep it in the right gear and when they go bad your car can develop a rough shift slipage and even trans failure

In automatic transmissions the second to third syncronizers always seem to go bad first, the syncronizers are worn, bad or gone. This is common in these transmissions. Also you might check your trans fluid level, sometimes a low level will cause the transmission not to shift correctly.

Why want an automatic transmission shift to third gear?

Your transmission's filter may be clogged, you may be low on transmission fluid, or the transmission may need repair or replacement. If the transmission was full of fluid, I would suggest a transmission flush, or replacing the transmission filter and fluid. If this doesn't help the transmission may actually be damaged and may need repair or replacement.

Why won't my 1998 automatic transmission dodge neon shift into third gear?

Automatic transmissions work on a combination of fluid pressures and electronic signals. Make sure the fluid level is proper, and does not smell burnt. Burnt fluid can be a signal that discs are slipping in the transmission. Also check to see that the linkage is tight and set properly. An unadjusted linkage can cause the transmission to not go into the proper gear.
