If a transmission won't shift out of 1st gear .. other then the fact that it is a bad transmission .. what other problems could i check? transmission speed sensor of some sort? tia

governer?!
will this cause a problem?! i called a local Audi shop and they said it could be a governor problem. Looking at the tranny in the car .. can i take it out and clean it w/o dropping the transmission itself. Practice makes perfect but i'm getting tired of it.

Odd problem indeed. Happened once to me about two years ago.
Normal morning start-up and this time I pulled foward out of my driveway. The car would not shift out of first for almost a mile. Not once has this problem happened since and the trans works fine with about 100,000 miles on it...

Check the fluid level...The 3spds can develop a leak, which causes the level to drop
if the level drops, it will not shift correctly. BTDT on our old '87 5kS. Could not tell the trans was loosing fluid. I forget which seal it was (this was back in 1996 I think?)...

No, valve body. Part inside transmission that directs fluid flow to various bits, resulting in gear
changes and torque converter lock-up. If my understanding is correct anyway.

how do it get to it. i'm planning on dropping the tranny to clean the governor for "fun" to make sure its not a question. Fluid is good. The valve body to my understanding is one the differntial part of the tranny? i'll pop it open to check her out.
