01 GTP - No 1st Gear

**DirtySteve** · 09-30-2010

A couple hours of being parked after running fine, I got in and shifted into Drive with nothing, manually shifted into 3rd with nothing, but manually shifting into 2nd,1st and reverse worked. Accelerating in either 1st or 2nd, the tranny would shake pretty bad with just a touch of the pedal. The car has 93k and the only signs of problems were every 2-3 months, I'd put it into Drive and it would take maybe a second to engage in 1st but no real problems what so ever. Any help would be much appreciated.

Obvously there seems to be a problem with the transmission.
Time to get it rebuilt, and install a new trq. converter.

you mgiht be able to like un hook the battery and some connecter and let it sit for a long while and then hook it all back up and it should reset the computers and such.

I think there is a thread about it somewhere.

Anyone know what connector he might be talking about in the last post?

i wish i could find the thread, but i am not able to find it on here, but im pretty sure they unplugged the battery and something else to try and reset the computers.
