i've got an automatic 92 sc300 with 200k miles. from the time i bought it, my car has been starting in 3rd or 4th gear i cant really tell.
i brought the car to a tranny expert to have him take a look and he hasnt called me back or answer my calls?

for the past eight months i've been putting it in low to get any decent acceleration then shifting it up to second then drive.

has anyone had similar problems? any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Shift solenoid issue....I had this with my original auto.

 

what can i do about it?

 

Your best bet is to replace them.

alright thanks alot! any way to make sure it's a shift solenoid before i buy?

 

If its at the transmission shop already have them test em, if you want when I get home I can post up the fsm pages on how to test em

 

yeah it's not at the shop,that would be great though thank you so so much

 

does ur o/d off light blink?
also jumping ur e1 and te1 in ur diagnostic port in the engine bay..the o/d off light should blink a code ...mine is doing this here n there and its my solenoid 1 code 62(6 blinks then pause then 2 blinks)..however im replacing both while im in there..

 

yeah my o/d does blink, i've been wondering why. where are you getting your solenoids at? online?

 

well i have my tranny guy getting them for me from his shop but i know i found em for the same price online just had to ship em..but i forget where ill take a look later when i have more time available..

 

sounds good
