    Ever cleaned and overhauled the valve body? Maybe the valve is just stuck because of the dirt in the valve body. You can also test the solenoid valves on the plug on the side of the trans with a multimeter.
    In case it is a 5HP18, here are solenoid kits https://zftranspart.mypinnaclecart.c...=product&id=41

    I haven't cleaned it or anything yet. I just got the car a couple days ago. I'm pretty sure its dirty and gummed up. Sometimes it just wont shift past second but yesterday when I got out of work. Second was really sluggish till about 2500 rmps then started driving fine and went right into third I brought it on a main road and she went right into third and forth with no problem. I then went home for a about an hour. Then I got back into the car to see if would still shift normal and nope back to not going back into third. Trans light is now on. Could low trans fluid also cause this problem? I'm going to see if I can get the car on a lift this weekend. I hope the trans isn't shot i didn't want to do a trans swap this quickly so I'm hoping i can save this one till I'm prepared for a manual swap

    how many miles are on the car? check if the lines up into the transcooler are leaking. Mine shifted funny until I replaced the seals and did a fluid change at 115k miles. Shifts normally
