Why would my automatic transmission in a 1991 Dodge Stealth be stuck in third gear?

My 1992 Dodge Stealth ES is doing the same thing.. and I had the tranny rebuilt only about a year ago.
Turns out, the Transmission ECU was fried... no power to the tranny at all so it defaults in 3rd gear...
Do you have a 'PWR' & 'ECO' transmissions mapping switch in your center console? One indicator for me that the ECU was fried is that the light on the dash board did not come on when it was set to Power. (No lights should be on when it is on economy.)
Hope this helps.

Automatic trans. on Neons used to have problems with the solenoid packs sticking. Check to see if you have a transmission controller code. If it has a code for L/R solenoid stuck in L or R poistion, put a solenoid pack in it. It might just be that the trans needs to be overhauled.

2001 dodge caravan transmission stuck in second?
Assuming it is an automatic, and you don't have any forward gear except second, you are probably in "limp-in mode". Something has failed in the control circuit for the transmission (computer, relay, wiring etc.), and the transmission defaults to the single gear to allow you to drive at reduced speeds to a repair facility, or just to get to a safe place to call for help.
