Aloha, I lost first gear in my 46re tranny. All of the other gears seam to work fine. Even if I downshift with the shifter it seems like it only goes to 2nd gear. Any ideas? Is this indicative of a governor pressure solenoid? Or any other solenoids for that matter? Any help is greatly appreciated, this is my only vehicle and I need it to go to work!!! Happy New Year

 

Does reverse work?

 

reverse and every other gear works fine. Just went to the dealer to pick up the governor pressure solenoid, and transducer. Hopefully these are the problems, 'cause with these and the filter and oil, its up to $300.

 

put those in and you should be fine.

 

Put the two sensors in, changed the filter, added oil, took her for a test drive, and she's driving great. Only thing, does anyone know who makes a tool to adjust the band adjustment screw. The head is square with rounded edges?

 

i think i used a 12 point socket. i think it was an 8mm
i'll get back to you in a minute and tell you for sure

 

scratch the 8 mm. i think it was a 5/16 12pt socket.
