Count your shifts. If one of the solenoids go out it results in no 1st or 4th gear. You will start in 2nd and only get 3rd after. Don't confuse the torque converter locking up as a shift. You will feel that above 45 mph at light throttle.

I have a 02 S10 that was sitting for close to 2 and half years, i took it to get the transmission rebuilt because it was bad. But now im having the problem that the struck starts off in third and wont change gears. ive heard its in limp mode. the mechanic that rebuild the transmission said it is the key switch assembly! But i dont want to just spend money on random parts and that not be the issue. Any help? could he be right about the switch?

Maintenance & Repair
Was rolling in 5th gear going 60, heard aloud screeching noise and it threw us forward in the seat and slowed it immediately to about 40.I pulled off to the side of the road and smoke was coming from under the truck.I looked around and couldn't see anything visibly wrong.I started it up again just fine and started rolling in 1st gear, then I tried to shift to 2nd the truck just stopped and wouldn't go into any gear.At this point the truck will start but when I let the clutch out, it dies(in neutral). Had to remove my drive shaft to be towed on towrope because it wouldn't roll smooth in neutral. When the engine is running now I don't feel any vibration through the gearshift anymore like how I used to before it broke down. What could it be? 3 Answers
