OK, I have no idea of the history behind my car and I thought it was all stock. Today I thought I'd shift from a stop from 1 to 2 to 3 to D to OD. Well shifted into 1, took off and at about 3000 rpm's it shifted by itself into 2nd gear, so i shifted into 2nd and it stayed in second untill it shifted into 3rd.

So I stopped the car and I'm like "wtf" because from all my past experience with trannies when you shift into 1 it stays in 1 untill you manually shift it into 2 or up to any higher gear.

So upon closer inspection, my console has P, R, N, OD, D, 2, 1 but when I start at park and count the shifts down it only goes to 2, no 1.

So couple questions, 1. Different tranny than a 700R4? 2. Is it a busted 700R4? 3. Should it shift into second when its dropped all the way down into 1 or is it shifting into 2 because its actually in 2 and busted and wont go into 1?

When it's in OD or D it shifts great.

 

sounds like your shifter linkage my just be off a little bit, just needs to be adjusted. happened on my wifes RS. but your tranny should be fine.

 

sounds like your shifter linkage is just off by a little bit. just needs to be adjusted. happened on my wife's RS. your tranny should be fine

 

Im not sure. Nothing feels loose and it stops and 2, there is no spongy feeling like it wants to go to 1 or anything.

 

its not really loose, but just offset by a hair so that it wont slide all the way down in first.
if you put it in nuetral and go under your car, there is a single nut on your linkage right on the side of your tranny. loosen it a little . you might have to play with it a tad to get it just right. if you feel that your shifter moves to a different gear that what the tranny is in, just see if the car starts then you know it is in nuetral.
