Why Is My Transmission Stuck In 2nd Gear. But the P0882 and P0706 codes self-corrected as soon as the new solenoid assembly was installed. If your transmission is stuck in gear and you are far away from home try this.
If you own a Chrysler Dodge or Plymouth vehicle and discover that the transmission will shift from first to second gear but will not shift out of second gear your vehicle has locked itself into limp-in mode. It is common for the electrical harness in the transmission to short out. Check the wiring harness to the transmission case and make sure that it is plugged in.
Do not press the gas pedal or any other buttons on the car.
This is often times a sign of low transmission fluid or a faulty transmission control solenoid. In my opinion the linkage rods connecting the shift arm to the transmission have become loose where they connect to the transmission. Every time a gear change is required the cars computer activates a transmission solenoid which directs transmission fluid into the valve body to engage the correct gear. If the tcm determines theres a problem with a shift solenoid it may put the vehicle in limp-home mode in this state the transmission will be forced into second or third gear to limit your speed and one or more warning lights will appear on the dash.
