Weird...

tranny will NOT shift into 2nd gear unless more than 1/8 of a tank of gas is in the tank.


originally thought my tranny was going out, but when the gas tank is full it shifts GREAT, and as soon as it goes under that 1/8 mark, NO 2nd gear to be found.

auto tranny.

fuel pump is starving the engine

i was kinda relived to find out it may infact NOT be my tranny when i noticed it shifted fine when i filled up.

ANY IDEAS?
