I unplugged the connector and it shifted through the gears but I think it's not going into 2nd or it's missing it. It will be let me shift it from 3rd down to 2nd but I can't got from 1st to 2nd (but I'm pretty sure I can with the connector plugged in) or it might be starting it 2nd and thats why it won't go from 1 to 2 but will from 3 to "2". Other than that once It got up to speed it drove good

I was curious to the sound because mine sounds like whistle in the wind but it's not loud and doesn't seem to making any issues at the moment. I just completed a full rebuild here so hearing this strange sounds does concern me. Apply brakes, stops for the moment. Shifted in neutral does stop it sometimes. Contacted the guy on eBay that I bought my converter from to see if maybe he could give me some advice ideas but his only response is sending a replacement. The sound is very hard to describe. That I fully agree with. If you find anything , please let me know. Thank You.

I Don't think the check engine light works anymore but the only codes I had the last I checked was the 02 sensor because I don't have a cat anymore, vehicle speed sensor, which I changed and still doesn't work, and cruise control. But I'm curious what makes it go into limp mode in the first place? I changed the trans fluid yesterday and there was a normal amount of metal on the magnet but the fluid was a real dark brown.

With the oil being dark brown your clutches (frictions and steels) are probably burnt.

Limp mode is where the pcm substitutes actually readings from a defective sensor to keep it running mainly for the engine. The pcm MUST have the speed to shift the transmission! Dark brown fluid is not good either(dirty/burnt) witch can clog the filter. Clogged filter = pump struggles to gain pressure= noise.
vehicle speed sensor, which I changed and still doesn't work,
