2nd gear problem

[mineralgray2002]

Since it has been freezing cold here in hellhole illinois, my car doesnt want to be shifted into 2nd gear from 1st or downshifted from 3rd, i can take off in 2nd without a problem but when its really cold like it has been lately it refuses to be shifted into. what do you think will fix my issue? thank you

Haha, yeah I dont like it further South. I go to school in Champaign-Urbana, rather be up North in Chicago. Move to Florida and get a KB, then go looking for that Saleen.

haha good idea, if i had the money i would, last time i saw the saleen it was sittin on a carlot waiting for me to buy it, unfortunately i go to college and cant afford a brand new car

There is a TSB on your transmission. I just had mine done a couple months ago. It made a huge difference. I don't know if they will do the TSB if you are out of warranty, but it would be worth a shot. Good luck.

Check the fluid level, And let your car warm up before you drive it, it take a little while for heat to transfer from engine to trans.

Sounds like the common TR3650 problem. Take it in and get it fixed under the TSB like was said.

no warranty=no TSB fix for him.

He just needs to warm it up first.

Actually, no warranty = no FREE TSB fix for him.. they'll still perform it. And if he's within a certain number of miles or months of warranty expiration, a few words with the service manager will probably get it done for free anyway.
