Transmission problem
1992 Chrysler 5th Avenue 6 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic

Will not shift out of second gear. Problem started 1 day ago. There was no warning prior. When you stop and shut off and restart, it will shift only once and we are back to where we started. Manual shift does not work.
ARG !
ignition code is reading 33 35

Hi:

I checked on the codes you gave me and found the following:

NOTE: THESE CODES ARE for 80's and 90"s Chrysler products.

35 Cooling fan relay circuit open or shorted

33 Air conditioning clutch relay circuit open or shorted (may be in the wide-open-throttle cutoff circuit)

On a 92, I question if they have anything to do with the problem you are having. I will assume the trans fluid is full, and the trans has been serviced within the last 30K with a new filter. Also, check for the vacuum module on the side of the trans to see if the vacuum line is still connected. If so, remove it to see if any ATF comes out of it. If so, it sounds like there is an internal problem. Have you had anyone look at it yet? If so, what were there comments? If the trans was working fine and this happened all at once, I feel something in the valve body may have gone bad, or a clutch pack retaining clip may have broken allowing the clutch pack to be engaged.

When the car is running in park or neutral, does it feel like it's trying to move forward?
