I have a 1996 Ex Sport 4.0 automatic. All of a sudden I get in last night and it will not shift out of 1st gear. After a little while the "check engine" light came on. It will shift into/from park, reverse, neutral. It will not shift from 1st to 2nd if I use the shift lever.
I haven't had any kind of transmission problem in the past and it has always seemed to perform fine. I change and flush the transmission fluid as recommended. Before I take it to a mechanic on Monday, I'd like some ammo in my pocket. Is this likely an electrical system problem? If so, what could be malfunctioning? Or, do I really have a transmission problem? Any help is appreciated. Thank you.
