I have saved all the old posts for this issue. But since discovering that I only had 1st, I want to update the situation. And manly be advised on what I did to the engine, running it for so long in 1st. >Do you have reverse?? Reverse is usually the first thing to go. Yes, reverse works great. >Has the PO been into the tranny??? He replaced a leaking VM. Thanks for all the advice. BTW, according to the Bentley AT Troubleshooting section, stuck in 1st gear indicates a dirty Governor or dirty valve body as the only causes, so I am hoping that the Bentley's right.
