Default 1989 Dodge Dynasty

My Dynasty has a V-6 with a 4speed automatic transmission. It has been sticking in 2nd gear. I tried the process a Chiltons had to teach the tranny with no luck

Have you tried disconnecting the battery for an hour or so? I don't know what Chilton's process is but my son's 93 Dynasty gets to where it really "searches" for low gear when stopping. Unhooking the battery for awhile lets the computer go intolearn mode and then it'll be fine for awhile. This is cheaper than $200 for a new controller.
