tranny question

so my auto tranny when i wish to manually shift throught the gears won't go into 2nd. first, is there a seperate shifter part to tranny? i have an aftermarket warranty and it covers

TRANSMISSION

All internal lubricated

parts in:

• Transmission case

• Torque converter

• Bell housing. so do i have to come out of pocket or do i luck out and get it fixed? i need to get my rear passenger door lock actuator replaced and want to roll it all up. dont want to be at the shop and hear, Well Bill it doesn't cover "that particular part". as always, thanks, Bill

I guess the answer is "it depends" if the problem turns out to be internal to the casing, then you are ok.
But if the problem is a sensor, or switch or the shifter console, or any electrical or computer problem, then they are going to say "Well Bill....."
 
good luck for now..
 
luckily the internal parts are expensive.. the rest is cheaper 'cept the computer... but also unlikely.

If it doesnt do anything in second, are you referring to the shifter not lighting up in second?
If this isthe case it is more likely to be your j-gate being bad. Also the range switch in trans.
I would call ext warr co and ask them if they cover the shifter. Also ask if they cover the power door latches for not working. At least that way you'll know whether to take the lube to the dealer with you.

the door acuators are covered. the shifter won't go into second at all. shift 3rd and 4th. no 2nd.put it in drive and it goes, try to jgate shift and nothing. car runs and shifts automatically fine, just cant go throught the gears "manually". thanks,Bill

are you saying the gear lever, physically cant be moved to the 2 position? Or when you move it to position 2 nothing happens? 
 
I dont know if I am being dumb, but I still dont really know what you are trying to say.
 
 
 
 

can't physically put the shifter in 2nd gear. car shifts fine in drive. but it won't go into second gear when i switch it over in the j location. sorry for confusion.so to recap. car shifts and drives great,except if i try to shift manually through gears on the jgate then there is no 2nd gear. thanks as always,Bill

Sounds like a j-gate problem or an adjustment

sounds like a shifter ass problem or a seized shifter cable..

sounds like j-gate to me

so what kinda money am i looking at with these problems? just wondering, sounds like all are pretty much adjustment kinda things. thanks, Bill

take the right side carpet off... 1 phillips screw and pull then. in park, disconnect the shifter cable then go thru the j gate.. with cable disconnected... takes 10 min... then if it goes to 2  then it needs a cable  .. if it still doesnt then it needs a assembly..
