Default trans problems

Well it seems my trans has a mind of its own. Its having trouble finding 2nd gear, skipping to 3rd but not every time some times it finds 2nd and shifts just fine. any ideas to hold me over until new tranny can be bought

I'm assuming an Auto? Mine hops over 2nd frequently if not under some load. I've been told it's working properly, but I still don't like it. Once I accelerate harder it will hold in 2nd, does yours? You could try and apps adjust and reset.

Before you go How many miles is on the trans?Tranny shop wants to do a rebuild.I wouldnt do that yet.I would do a filter and fluid change and adjust the bands and put a new solenoid kit in .. "RE" Solenoid Master Kit 00 Up
