When changing from third to fourth gear, car stalls, loses power and rpm's go up. As car slows, transmission shifts into fourth. Could it be a transmission solenoid and if so, where is it located? Can you send pictures?

Hello,

It sounds like you have a shaft speed sensor that is going out for the transmission but to be sure lets run the codes to see what comes up.

Please let us know what you find.
