my 98 C5 forgot 2nd gear?! when I first got my C5, it went from 1st to 3rd to 4th. For trouble shooting reasons, I cleared the dtc's and used HP Tuner to ensure factory settings. Now it only 'thinks' it has 1st & 2nd... keep in mind that the ONLY dtc ive found is the ol' Secondary Air Pump check valve thingy. Can somebody help me make sense of all this?

it is automatic. I was gonna TRY to troubleshoot myself: When I first bought it, it skipped passed 2nd gear. So I flashed with HPTuners to establish a known baseline with a factory tune. NOW it shifts into 2nd, but wont shift out into 3rd.

I had a nightmare scenario on my previous car with the trans doing this crap. I did a vac controlled swap to PCM controlled swap. Just never shifted right, even with fresh rebuild. A swap, or solenoid replacement should fix the problem.
Fyi, turning never fixed my problem...as I don't think it was tuner related. Went with 6spd on new car to fix that issue for good.
