Stuck in the 3rd Gear Sign In

Hi, I have a Mitsubishi galant 96,
The car is stuck in the 3rd gear apparently, though it shifts fine from D to Reverse or vice versa. Its also strange that the light for OD is not coming up when i press it. Also there are no lights indicating D or R. I get high RPM inn speeds more than 40 and car starts slow.
umm... could this be a sensor problem..or the transmission itself?

Sounds like electrical problem. I wouldn't keep driving it, you might cause serious damage by doing so. Don't know much about mitsu's, you will have to bring it in and get it on a scanner at a tranny shop or dealership.

I agree with Z. It does appear to be an electrical problem which has defaulted the transaxle. There is a transmission controller that should be checked for stored codes to begin diagnosis.
