Is the check light turning on? Being an 88 i doubt that it has a trans that will be linked to the data system, what is the exact problem that you are having.

I feel it will be a mechanical problem with the transmission, may be a stuck shift valve in the valve body, this should be checked out by a trans tech first hand to get to the bottom of your problem.
