Stuck in the 3rd Gear Sign up here! Search this forum this category all forums for All words Any words Whole Phrase (search options) Auto Repair Home>> Automotive Repair>> Transmission Problems 00aeg00 New User Dec 17, 2011, 1:07 AM Post #1 of 3 (2033 views) 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? zmame Veteran / Moderator Dec 17, 2011, 6:52 AM Post #2 of 3 (1986 views) Re: Stuck in the 3rd Gear Sign In 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.

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.
