98 safari auto trans. no 1st and overdrive

my safari has no 1st gear or overdrive. could this be one solenoid?
thanks

Welcome Aboard!

Since no one else is willing to take a stab at it, I'll go...

Do the gear ranges work if manually selected?

Does reverse work normally?

Does the transmission engage quickly and smoothly when a range is selected, or is there hesitation or slow engagement?

Thanks BB,
I have'nt got the van yet but I do think the 2 to 3 shift is good. I don't know if the manual 1st is working. I did buy a solenoid and filter kit as I am going to get it today. Thanks for the reply and I will let you know if that is the problem.
