I have tried driving it in manual and 1st gear is bound up or stuck. when i shift to second its good then when i shift to 3rd nothing happens. There is no lights on. as far as TCU what would i need to do to check it. Or would it be cheaper to replace anything else first that might fix the problem.

i found a trans on ebay for under 500. Should bolt right in and be ready to go. Any tips for me trying this job myself. Anything specific to watch out for?

No lights come on. not even a check engine. the fluid def needs a change. its dark and smells burned and the speedo works fine

Well there is no lights on and the fluid is good. Its clearly in limp mode but im at a loss why. Also 1st is bound up. Im just gonna get a professional rebuild done. Any tips on What i should request custom to the trans to make it more durable.

It was really hard to read. i had to check it several times. im sure i got it but will check again as soon as im able. Im experiencing thunderstorms right now so as soon as they pass i will reply. also thanks for the helpful info

i will check on the light situation. I checked the fluid and it was overfilled. so i drained some out till it was at the right amount. Still the problem exists. Will get back after i check about the light on start up

hi I have a 93 legacy with auto trans and the trans will go into park, reverse, and drive fine but when in drive it starts out in 2nd gear and will not shift to 3rd. Also when i put it manually into 1st gear the car will struggle to move like the gears are bound up or stuck. kinda feels like tryin to drive with the parking brake on. it will move but very little and very slowly. i was wondering if anyone had heard of this before. Also dont know how to start a new thread and saw you guys talking about tranny's. Dont mean to intrude Thanks chris
