Pulling away in 2nd sometimes

[Jameswallace]

Sometimes, when i pull up at lights and dont stop (crawl at say 4 mph) the truck stays in 2nd and its hard to pull away, if a junction is nearby after this then it stays in 2nd even when fully stopped.

Ive disconnected the batterys and reset the ecu, and I thought it had cured
It but did it once on a journey just now.

I cleaned the filter 6 months ago and flushed the fluid. I changed it again last saturday.


Would it be the 1st gear solenoid? If so how hard is it change? Any writeups? I couldnt find any..

Many thanks in advance

Try an auto specialist, could something in the box or maybe the convertor

Could it be a solenoid?

It goes into 1st if slelectwd manually with the lever.
