    I have a 1995 lebaron convertible, auto, 3.0., with a 604 trans. It
    shifts fine when cold, but after 15 minutes, it locks into second at
    slower speeds.I think it's going into the "safe mode". If I get it up
    to about 40mph, I can put it into nuetral, shut it off, restart and
    then put into drive, Then it's alright, as long as I maintain 40mph
    plus. When I drop down below 40, like at at stoplight, it locks into
    2nd again. I have changed the imput speed sensor, and the
    fluid/filter, all to no avail. The speedo works good, so I assume the
    output speed sensor must be alright. Does anybody know what I should
    do? Please post or e mail me at . Thanks, Mark

    Yeah. Maybe you should post this 3 or 4 more times.

    It's real simple. If you go to a transmission shop with the appropriate scan
    tool, they will tell you what the tranmission doesn't like. The computer is
    shutting it down because something is not working properly. Since it remains
    happy above 40 mph, I think you will eventually learn that one of the gears
    other than overdrive is too slow to engage.

    Odds are that nothing that you can replace external to the transmission will
    cure this.

  4. Could be low fluid pressure from the trans pump, when he's above 40Mph the
    rpm
    is high enough for the pump to develop adequate pressure.
