The transmission is going into limp mode because one or both speed sensors are reporting a failure the computer will limp the transmission into one gear only. This is to protect the rest of the clutches and seals to prevent more damage internally. You need to check and replace the input and output speed sensor if necessary.

03 Dodge Intrepid se slowing down to 20mph will get stuck in gear. rpms will rise but car wont shift till restart engine light on and speedo lags p0731 code received on check any ideas?

It's possible it's going into limp home mode. The computer detects a bad sensor and doesn't allow the car to shift out of 2nd gear and that's the only gear. No 1st, 3rd, or 4th. If this is the case definitely get it checked out. P0731 is gear ratio error in 1st gear. You need to have it checked by an experienced transmission tech. It could be nothing more than a speed sensor, or the trans could be shot.

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.


Why your 1999 Dodge Dakota feel like you are starting out in third gear sometimes when you stop?

You need to have it checked. If it is in 3rd gear at stop signs, you are doing damage to the trans, by making it work harder to get moving.
