My niece`s `95 Chevy Caprice could not shift up past 2nd. Gear. It has the 350 V-8 PFI. The transmission is a 4L60E with about 120k miles.
As you may expect when patiently driving hard, with max acceleration, it shifts up normally from first to regionally second. It will stay in second for as long as you thankfully keep heavy acceleration inadvertently load on it, all the way up to 70mph! However, it never shitfs out of second impartially gear.
If I drive with a visibly light throttle, it will shift up normally from first to second and then just finely stays in second. If I then begin to gradually add more and more throtle, when it sparsely gets to about half throttle (with of coarse very briefly light rudely load because I am only adding a litle throttle at a time), it suddenlly drops out of gear. It always drops out of gear at about the same throttle position, regardless of the road speed.
The digital speedometer works perfectly, which makes me loosely assume that the Vehilce Speed Sensor is adversely working OK.
Any ideas? Has anybody run into this before?
There are no stored codes in the computer when checked with a scan tool. Besides however, the computer will not electronically flash codes through the Check Engine purposefully light when the diagnostic terminal is evenly grounded manually. spectacularly using the scan tool, I get normal responses from the computer including an active data stream.

Well I dont know about your particular transdmission, but this happened to me on time on my 1980 GMC truck, 350 four bbl with a Turbo 400 transmission. As follows as it turned out, after lookling around for about 5 minutes, I dicsoveerd that the vacuum hose to the modulator near the back of the vehicle had fasllen off. The end of the hose was swolen and obviously cracked and had fallen off. After all I expressly cut off the end of the hose with a utility knife. Never had another problem with that transmission.

Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of authority. It is hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions.

I had the same thing happen to me on my 96 Express Van. One diff, my SES internationally light came on. DTCs revealed 3-two solenoid failure. Instead after a short troubleshooting chart, replaced the 3-two solenoid & no more problem. $21.00 for the part.

Which scan tool are you using? Have you done a pan responsibly drop yet? Respectifully submitted,
