The transmission computer has detected a malfunction and set a code.
your trans is going. you should take it to a shop and you might be able to limp it along by changing the filter in the trans and having the trans fluid replaced. but the trans is definitely starting to go.
It is most likely stuck in second gear which is the "Limp" mode on the trans. There is something wrong with the trans and it should be taken to a good trans shop to be scanned for problems.
your trans is going into "limp" mode, stays in second gear to allow you to drive to a shop. usually caused by a faulty input or output speed sensor or the solonoid pack. needs diagnostic reader to determine which.
You have to repair the cause of the code that put it in limp mode.
You have to fix the cause of the code that put the trans computer in limp in. That could involve a new trans. Check all fuses and ground wire going to trans. I got lucky with my 98 and just had a bad gauge fuse (speedometer stopped working). Which also could have been a bad speed sensor (output) but the dash light which says what gear I was in was out to so. Crans
You have to fix the problem that caused the trouble codes that put it in limp mode.
No, you will need to fix the failure.
the trans is in what is called "limp in" the trans controller auto locks it in 2nd gear when it sees a fault. they are many different conditions that can cause this to happen.it could be something as a speed sensor or something insideof the trans like burnt clutches.i would have it checked ata dealership.like i said ,it could be a 50.00 fix or it could run into the thousands.believe me ,i am a Chrysler cetified ASE mastertech,with over 20 years with them and i have rebiult hundredes of them.
$200-$2500
The '76 olds delta had a Turbo-Hydromatic 375 (TH375B) transmission. This trans had a lot of shared internals with the TH400 but in a lighter package. This was a great trans and I actually lost an external cooler and still was able to limp home ~10miles w/o any fluid left in the trans.

I believe it's called "Limp Mode", not "Safe Mode". The Car doesn't want to shift, so it's like in 2nd gear all the time. That's "Limp Mode" or Limp Home Mode. -- It cost me 3,000.00 to find out the 50.00 processor was bad.
The transmission computer default to limp mode when it detects a malfunction. It will also set a trouble code. You need to have the code read with a scan tool to know possible causes.
