Subject:Not shifting into High Gear (Automatic)
From:Steven Johnson
Date:Tue, 16 Jan 2001 07:49:51 -0800

Hi folks,

Had a strange problem while driving to work today.  In
the slow and go of the morning after a few miles
the traffic picked up speed.  While doing so, I
noticed
that the RPMs were high and realized that my automatic
tranny had not kicked into high gear.  So I kept it
at about 45 MPH and took the next exit.  Jumped out
checked the ATM fluid which was fine.  Well above the
max mark.  I topped off the coolant overflow tank and
got back on the freeway.  It shifted normally and
had no problems the rest of the way in.  Do I need to
worry about this?  What should I look for?  I'd really
like to not find out the hard way that there was
something that could be fixed and more expensive
problem(s) avoided.

Thanks again folks for your abundant generosity.

Steven
