Re: Transmission disengages between 1st and 2nd
Hello-
The first place to start is by checking the fluid level. Could be your just low on fluid. If that's okay - how long has it been since your last transmission fluid/filter change. The consensus on this web site is at about every 20K - 30K miles you should be doing that maintenance. If you take care of those two issues and still have the problem - the next reasonable thing to do would be to replace the TRS (aka neutral safety switch). A faulty switch or connection can cause some pretty unusual symptoms - and not throw a code. After that the next most likely and least expensive would be to replace the shift solenoid 1. If you have experience maintaining your vehicle - you could do all those jobs in a long weekend for about 125 bucks.
If you did all that and still had the problem - you need to get to a transmission shop ( you may want to do this 1st depending on your level of experience) and go for a ride with the transmission analyzer hooked up and find out what the computer is doing while that tranny is fumbling for 2nd gear. If the computer is functioning properly then you more than likely have an internal issue and may be looking at a transmission rebuild.
Good Luck-
Glenn
