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

[MA70-3.0GT]

WOW.... Just wow, I'm surprised nobody suggested anything sooner... Not as surprised as I am that the o/p is still here though haha top man.

Glad you got it sorted. the JDM cars with digital dash must be different since the speedo is intermittent on mine & the 'box still shifted fine with it inactive (although I must admit the shift point did seem higher up the rev range, but it still shifted)

My Toyota Supra automatic transmission won't shift out of 1st gear, this problem can be fixed if you know what to look for. I will post a video on how and what to look for. I just wished I had known about this before instead of having to stored away my supra in the garage. Oh well, better late than never!!! She's running fine now!!!

Bumping a really old thread just to post a teaser about your mechanical and diagnostic prowess? C'mon... post it or stuff it. I don't generally let chest thumping and necromancy bother me as long as there's something worthwhile accompanying it.
