95 3.1L transmission issues
Second post, same low mile car sitting for a few years, this time a intermittent transmission problem.
The first few times I drove the car, it drove perfect, shifted properly. This weekend when I drove it, it seems to start in 3rd gear (maybe 2nd). No first, no overdrive maybe no 2nd. Sluggish as a h*ll from a stops feels & sounds like a high stall converter. In the middle of the weekend test drive it starts working right, starting in 1st, shifting nicely, etc. That lasts about 5 minutes and reverts to starting in 3rd.
Then this morning when I drive it to work, it starts out fine drives right for a couple miles, reverts to starting off in 3rd drives like that for a few miles and then starts working correctly again for the rest of the way into work.
Any ideas? Any connection to the intermittent high idle or the CHARGE light problems?
