Q: When in D truck won't shift into 2nd gear. I currently just have R and 1st gear. Truck will also work in low 2

asked by on December 26, 2017

4l60e won't shift into 2nd gear. I have reverse and 1st as of now. Truck will also work in low 2. Also if I press on the gas long enough the rpm will go very very high and eventually shift into 2nd gear while in D.
