High gear???? I assume you checked fluid level and fluid condition? Is reverse totally gone? Any noise when you shift to reverse? Are all other gears engaging and working properly?

yes i check the fluid levels and condition. A little noise when you put it in reverse but thats it . Everything else works fine. I can drive it down the road just not in high gear. I think i saying high gear correctly maybe . It will go forward in only 1 gear.

So it will not shift out of 1st gear, and you don't have reverse, correct? Sounds like your in for a rebuild.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news......

Does your speedometer work? If not, you may have a bad speed sensor. Does your overdrive light flash?

Are you saying that the transmission will not shift automatically in the forward drive gears and no reverse at all???? If so could be the CPU that controls the electronic shifter. Oh wait a minute, you have the 4R100 4spd or TorqShift 5spd???????

There is no electronic shifter on either the 4R100 or the TorqShift. Both have mechanical drive or reverse engagements. He has a 4R100.

There is something mechanical broken. There is nothing electronic that will keep it from engaging reverse.
