my son's neon started giving him trouble, running poorly, and sticking in second gear two weeks ago.
we brought it to local tech, he replaced plugs and wires, car runs ok now, but wont shift out of second gear .
any suggestions? i am hesitant to bring to tranny specialists for they are usually unscrupulous, and this is not a very valuable car.

Hi there,

a scan my show a problem with a shift solenoid, so i would start here, anything else will have to be checked by a trans specialist.
