<![CDATA[Stuck in 3rd Gear!!!!!]]>Hey guys i had an offer to trade my old rims for a 92 integra LS. the car is stuck in third gear, shifts into 1,2,4,5,and reverse but stays in 3gear.

Is the Tranny shot? or is it somthin else?:icon_scratch:

Thanks in advance

I thought I had posted this in my drunken stupor the other night as well. Wouldn't you be able to use 3rd and 4th tho? I know when I broke a fork, I could use 3rd and 4th.

Either way, if it's just a fork, thats a simple/cheap fix, if you can pull the tranny and the case yourself.

many automatic transmissions have a "limp mode" whereby if something is wrong with the TCU or ECU->TCU wiring [or the transmission itself], the transmission will only operate in 3rd gear.

I have no idea if an acura LS would have this feature or not. Something to look into.

wouldnt be an auto if he said it'll shift into "1,2,3,4,5 and reverse" itd be 1,2,D(3),N,reverse

By shifts into gear, I assume you mean the stick can go into that position but the tranny itself stays in 3rd....right?
