My 89 silverado will not shift out of first gear?
It will go into first gear and reverse only.
Fluid is fine, Engine runs strong, No leaks to be seen.
When I take it up to max of first gear and let off gas even on a down hill it simply coasts I can rev engine etc no effect. till it slows to 5 to 8 mph then if i hit the gass then first gear again engadges.

did you try changing the gears by hand ? before you start out put it in 1st then go to 2nd then 3rd ! if it changes that way then change the modulator valve !

Restart the truck ! I had an older intrepid that had a worn out transmission & that's all I had to do to is just restart it !
Source(s): Pressure wash under your hood and lubricate your linkage . But that's just what worn out trannys do when it's time for a new one , u can try Lucas anti slip but you might be wasting your money ! Good luck !
