Having trouble shifting into second gear. It will get up to 4-1/2 to 5 rpm's before changing. Only does this of a morning. Once the car gets warmed up it drives fine. It has stopped going twice now while driving. It says engine failure mode. With a wrench light showing. The car does not shut off the speed decreases and will not accelerate. After stopping and shutting the engine off for a minute. I crank it back up and go on.

have a transmission professional scan for codes. It may be a stuck governor or valve body problem. or wiring issue.
