You need to have the computer scanned for codes. It sounds like it is stuck in "limp Mode". This happens when there is a problem. The trans will stay there to get you home for repairs, but isn't designed to run that way. It will eventually burn the clutches out of it.

There could be many things causing it. That is why I recommend having it scanned for codes. I also recommend having it done at a trans shop. Let me know the codes they find and I will help make sure they are not taking advantage of you.

THEIR IS NO LIGHT THAT COMES ON TO DO A CODE SEARCH. WILL THE CODE SEARCH WORK WITH OUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON? WILL IT RUN IF I DISCONNECT THE BATTERY FOR A BIT?
