Unhappy Jetta III 95 Auto Tranny Only drives in 3rd...

At first the car would go through all the gears like normal but then it would hit 4th and would go into a neutral like state and then it would go back to 3rd. And then that happened for the last time because now it just stays on 3rd from the begining of the ride. Any ideas out there.

It is going into limp mode due to an electronic failure (you should have first if you manually put the selector in low). You need to read the codes, I just posted directions on how to read them (w/o a scanner) on the "check engine light" thread in this forum.
