Thread: wont shift outta second.

I picked up a 98 gtp 2 door last nite and the seller told me the car needed a solenoid? he provided the part but since I practicly stole the car ($1000 with 90k on it) I assume he is bs-ing me. I planned on putting a zzp tranny anyway but I was wondering if there might be something to it. First and second are fine but it wont shift out of second and it takes a minute to shift back to first. When I was going 50 and let off the gas the rpms came down and it coasted but when I hit the gas it was like neutral till it got to 3k ish rpms and accelerated from there. any ideas??

Thanks for the info, I am going to have a local shop look at it but depending on the price I am thinking I might be better off replacing it (I like the street strip model on your site). I dont know how the previous owner drove or maintained this car and I would have piece of mind knowing that it would be new before moving on to the engine.
