Help - Transmission Problem

[rogerblind]

All of a sudden, it feels like I am starting out in 3rd (2nd?) gear when in Drive. It was fine until a couple days ago. Only 26,000 miles and fluid level/color are fine. It also sometimes doesn't want to shift out of whatever gear it starts in. Everything works fine if I start in 2 or 1 and switch back to Drive at about 15 to 20 mph. Any ideas what is wrong? Like to avoid my first ever trip to the dealer, if possible. Thanks!!

Sounds like the governor/transducer problem. I believe you can replace yourself without any adjustments. If I am wrong someone will let us know. As to where to get the parts I believe it is the Dealer.

Roger, you might have better response if you post this in the 2G forum, instead of the 3G forum Your '99 has a 47RE auto trans. All 3G's have the 48RE except for the no H. O. motors.
