Re: 1998 Intrepid Transmission Question

your transmission is in "limp mode" meaning that if there is an electrical fault in the transmission, it defaults to second gear. Chances are, the symptom you are describing is a faulty output speed sensor, which controls the speedometer function. Just to be on the safe side, you can go to any auto part store and have them put your car on a scanner and pull up the trouble code (if you have a check engine light).
