after trans filter and oil change it seems to shift better. especially when warmed up. i'm in arizona so it definitely shifts better in the warmer months

The transmission still has reverse and drive but it wont shift up when its in drive. I don't know what is wrong with it since i haven't had it looked at yet.

Thought transmission was bad, would not shift into 2nd gear, took to shop and all they did was replace the input/output sensors. Have not had any other problems with this truck. Now have 238,684 miles on it.
