R33 Auto Issues

[rsx84]

any ideas as to why an r33 auto trans would only select 2nd gear when in drive, have no kick down funtion and feel like an almost burn't out clutch?? these are the symptoms my car has, but there only every once and a while, take today car has been doing this since tuesday morning today it started doing this then after i had stopped at a servo it went back to normal driving mode, then while driving it went back into 2nd byitself and stayed there...

any ideas as to what part of the transmission might cause this problem? its a wiring issue i'd say but what part...

Cheers, Matt...

Does it go back to normal if you turn the car off completely and restart it?

Mine would occasionally do this but go to 3rd gear. A 'reboot' fixed it every time.

it has fixed itself again, but no i would turn the car off and then when i had to drive again it was still there, in the end i parked at my GF's work to pick her up, i parked on a hill with the front of the car facing down and then 10 min's later when we left it was back in normal drive mode?? i'm thinking there was no trans fluid in the torque convertor?? thats all i can think of..

cheers for the reply..

Wrong fluid levels can cause all sorts of weirdness in autos.
