Yesterday my car started to have trans problems, It wont shift out of first gear but if you take the car up to say 3500 rpms and let off the gas the engine will go back down to idle but if you go to give it gas again it wont try to speed up till u get back up to 3500 rpms. that is the only problem it is having everything else goes into gear fine.... I have checked the cable going to it and looked for vacuum hose problems but there is no vacuum hoses going to the trans only some electric cables going to the side of it. Any other ideas would really help before we drop it and try to get it rebuilt... thanx ALOT for any ideas
 
re:

also before this started when the trans would be cold in the morning it would stick in first gear then would shift up 2 gears when it would finally shift then when i would stop again it wouldnt down shift and would shake bad, not sure if it makes a diff but the car has a 2800rpm torque converter in it..
