| Description of the problem | When i go to accelerate it periodically has had an issue of selecting the gear. Sometimes it has held onto 1st gear without changing to second, most recently it has been skipping from 1st gear to 5th gear. I've recorded a video (link at the bottom) to better demonstrate. I drive the truck in a humid environment (oahu) + wash my car regularly (nothing in the engine, other then spraying the grill) - as i've heard of similar related issues. I've uploaded a video of it to youtube which was recorded yesterday after trying to accelerate at a stop light (i had tried to troubleshoot it 3 different ways after pulling over - 1. Going into the low gears (1, then 2), then drive 2. I tried manually telling the vehicle which gear i wanted to be in (it blinked to indicate i'm locked out) 3. (as seen in the video) i went to park, then to drive https://www. Youtube. Com/watch? V=y50_cj82d20. |
