Transmission problems

BTR69 · 01-07-2022, 07:28 PM

Good evening. My 98 Chevy dually, 454 automatic, has an intermittent problem of not shifting out of low gear. I parked it until I can spare the $$$ on a rebuild. I did a search here recently and found info that suggests a bad ignition switch could be a possible cause. Can anyone give me more info about this, so I know what to look for, before I spend the money and time on changing it out?

In an earlier thread about this a few months ago, I got some input that I passed on to the tranny shop. They didn't find anything they could address without removing and rebuilding. Until I come up with the $2700 disposable income for that, I'll continue using my spare tow rig.

Thanks and have a great weekend...
William Kilduff.
