Auto-trans not shifting down @ stop
'91 Metro auto-trans is not shifting down to 1st when @ stop when in drive or second. Must down shift manually to first. Any ideas? I am new to the metro systems. Thanks, Bearwulf

Re: Auto-trans not shifting down @ stop
Your chassis brain is bad. Mine would only act up in hot weather. I got one from a junk yard. It is a small electrical box located under the dash right of the steering wheel shaft.

Re: Auto-trans not shifting down @ stop
Thanks again!!! Know where there are a couple of parts cars to check for the brain.

Re: Auto-trans not shifting down @ stop
Hey, did you replace the chassis brain yet? did it work? My car is doing the same thing (i.e. not down shifting to first when stopping some times.)
Please let me know I would really like to get this fixed. Thanks, Zechariah |

Re: Auto-trans not shifting down @ stop
Could also be a bad shift solenoid, or a bad connection in the wiring going to the shift solenoids.

Re: Auto-trans not shifting down @ stop
Could also be the shift cable adjustment on top of the tranny. I know if I gingerly put my shifter in drive, it starts out and stays in 3rd gear. If I put it in Drive with a little force, it runs perfect. The other idea about the automatic transmission control unit is viable as well.

Re: Auto-trans not shifting down @ stop
Yea, I had the same issue a couple years back. I replaced both shift solenoids and problem solved.

Re: Auto-trans not shifting down @ stop
Yes, I got the brain replaced and did cure the problem on mine. Sorry it took so long to get back, but have been very busy with grandson.

Re: Auto-trans not shifting down @ stop
They're inside the tranny, if you remove the pan, you'll see them.
