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.
