Auto Trans Question...Problem
A little help please...
My 700R4 is acting very strange. It seems to be skipping 2nd gear. As far as I have been able to determine, it is staying in first gear until approx 2200 rpm on a normal takeoff. If I start off with the shift lever in the 2nd position, it will not shift again until I move to 3rd.
The trans also seems "mushy". I serviced the fluid and filter about 3 months ago.
This problem began last week.
Any thoughts??
Thanks in advance

I'm a student in an auto-transmission class so I don't claim to be an expert, but I do know that fluid is directed from different locations to cause an automatic shift and a manual shift. If you have a manual second shift, but not an automatic 2nd shift I'd say you probable have a bad seal, which is causing an internal leak. Hope this helps
