Default Trans problems

My trans keeps kicking my shifter out of first gear when I try to start from a dead stop. I have to start in second gear now. Just want everyones opinion before I pull it and find another trans. Thanks!

Try the shifter alignment proceedure (do a search). It helped me with the same issue in 2nd gear.

The adjustment seems to have worked. I took the car and tried some start stops and the shifter didn't kick out of first once. Thanks for the advice cjcvette. I love this forum!

Good to hear! Always nice when the simplest fix is the correct one.

Pretty much every issue you could have with your car has been encountered and posted by someone on the forum.
