It will only go from first to second as I just drove it again over to the shop and could go no faster than 40 with the tach at 3K! I had to stop several times and shut if off, then restart it to get it going again once it stopped going anywhere.



I agree with 1KoolBee that it may be solenoid/transducer related. My 47RE burnt the gov sel on my first tow. Wouldn't shift out of 1st even at 5k. Seemed to freewheel after coasting but would jump into 3rd gear if you coasted down a hill fast enough. Lets us know about the checkball thing.
