A Chevy 1500 transmission may shift from 2nd to 1st instead of 3rd due to a few potential issues, such as a malfunctioning governor or valve body, which can disrupt the normal shifting pattern. Additionally, low Transmission Fluid levels or dirty fluid could impair hydraulic pressure, leading to incorrect gear engagement. Faulty sensors, like the throttle position sensor or vehicle speed sensor, might also contribute to erratic shifting behavior. It's essential to diagnose these issues promptly to avoid further transmission damage.
yes, that can happen.
The trans is electronically shifted so the sensor being bad is a likely cause.

Yes, but you will need to change the shift Governor. This is located in the rear of the trans. Dome cover held on by spring type clip. Pull whole unit out and install in other trans.
