HI everyone im new here i have a 2002 gp 40th anniversery edition with a 3.8 , Heres the problem im having the car wont go into 1rst gear it starts out in second gear when in drive and if you put it in 1rst manualy it still stays in second gear and i also dont have fourth gear any help would be greatly appreciated.
 


You're definitely going to have to remove the engine and transaxle from the car, and replace the trans.
 
I lost 1st and 4th and it was a shorted solenoid. It blew a fuse so I would check fuses first. Go to triple edge performance for error codes and trouble shooting the tranny. He has a lot of information listed.
 
Either find the soleniod grid on Dave's site or look for a post by me "trans info" There are links in there that have the trans soleniods listed. I'd say it's a soleniod issue as well.

Thing there is.. it may be a wire leading to the transmission. You'll want to double check the pins and connectors/wires before going at the trans itself.

If you need to go into the trans, you can do it w/o pulling it out. Dropping the subframe and lowering the drivetrain a bit, you can get the cover off the side and change the soleniod and or internal wiring.
 
Thanks for the info guys dropped transsmission down and replaced the shift solenoid it was bad and while my mechanic was there i told him to replace the other one as well and also replaced the epc solenoid he said they go bad also. thanks to everyone for there info its greatly appreciated.
