Have someone read the codes for you, or for about 30 bucks or so you can get yourself a obdI scan tool, easy to use.. a lot of trans codes will not turn on the check engine lamp. but will store a code in the continous memory. If the trans is not shifting when commanded to do so, most likely some sort of code is set.. could be a shift solenoid possibly, not sure.. there is also a way to read the codes by jumping terminals in the obdI connector in the engine compartment, you then read the blinking check engine lamp.
