hi

i have a 2000 mitsubishi montero with an automatic transmission and it will only use third gear. i've tested it and from a start to highway speed it will not shift.

i got the code read at autozone and it just said transmission problem with no code. also the neutral light indicator is blinking.

it also shifts into reverse real hard.

i took it to the garage my friend works at and the alternator is bad and it being an electronicly controled transmission may be the source of the problem.

we also think that the tps may be the problem and the computer defaults to third but that doesnt explain the hard shifting into reverse.

any help/ideas would be appreciated.
