new vert with bad tranny just picked up a 99 vert with a transmission problem for cheap. the problem is that it dosent go past 2nd gear. it shifts firm from first to second but thats as far as it goes. any advice or help would be appriciated. thanks guys
Doesit just stay stuck in second or does it go into neutral where it should shift to third?

Hmm could be and electrical issue culd be a valve body issue. Does it set any codes? is the check engine light on ?

So you have scanned it ?
Hmm odd if the shift to third was comanded and didnt hapen it should set a code for that, I would get it on a scanner or tuner and see whats being comanded first thing.

Verdad Gallardo that is a possibility also to determine that start i manual low 1 then upshift to 2nd , Does it shift? if not move to d3 now does it shift?

Ok put on a scanner and see if its being commanded that would be the next step. if its is then there a problem with the trans likley. Then Once you have checked for codes and see that 3rd is being comanded. Unplug the harness plug from the trans , This should force third hear all the time except when in manual second or first in whch case it will start in second , But if in D or OD it should always be in 3rd gear.

i couldnt figure it out
i had to bring it somewhere. they said if the tranny was bad it would cost about $2200 for a rebuild. i could probably buy another one for less than that!

Yep! A very well built unit would be less than the price you were quoted. of course I don't know what their build specs are... but I think yu're on the right track.
Give me a call if you are interested in replacing it. I'll be here another hour or so and then I will be in all day tomorrow as well.

Yes I too would concur you can have a built unit for that amount
