'88 MKIII Auto Trans won't shift out of first gear

bambudist · 03-18-2009, 03:33 PM

One day it was working fine, the next day it won't shift out of first. Is this a solenoid problem or....?
Shifts into Reverse fine and into First but won't up-shift normally.

Anyone have a magic bullet for me to solve this problem? This is coming at a very inconvenient time. (but isn't it always?)

Any help greatly appreciated...
