    96 Eclipse shifting problem

    My daughter has a 96 Eclipse automatic. Sometimes when you pull away from a
    stop it slightly hesitates shifting into 2nd. When it does this it stays in
    2nd and will not shift into third. If you pull over and turn it off and
    restart the car, it will shift ok and act normal. The transmission has just
    been rebuilt but it actually did it occasionally before we had it done. Any
    thoughts? I am thinking maybe a speed sensor or tps. I am just not that
    familiar with the Mitsubishi. It has the Dodge 2.0 liter and I guess a
    dodge tranny.
    Thanks for any help!!

    the vehicle should have a 604 transmission the reason the trans shifts ok
    after restart is the dodge electronics are programmed to try again if the
    engine is shut off.have the car scanned you will probably find a code
    transmission related defining a gear ratio error or low/rev switch valve
    stuck. take it back to whereever you had it rebuilt if its still under
    warranty...sometimes a quicklearn will also remedy this problem. 2nd gear is
    also called failsafe a condition that is set by the computer when it detects
    an error in the transmission

    failsafing there is a code and a reason for it .

    Ive had a lot of those cars with the same symptoms, usually its an
    input/output speed sensor issue, a wire could also be responsable. watching
    the data list for those items on a scantool may help resolve it
