I have a 97 automatic st, and something's definitely wrong ... whenever I first start driving after my car's been sitting for a few hours, the car won't shift itself into the 4th gear ... I'm not really sure how to explain it, except that it rides and rides and rides in 3rd gear, rpm's high and everything, and then after a mile or so, it'll just kick into the 4th gear ... I thought maybe it was because of the extreme cold, but it kinda warmed up here for a few days, and the problem didn't get any better...
I have no idea what this is, I thought maybe it would go away, but it's not .... I'm hoping maybe it's something to do with the wiring, like the overdrive is getting stuck or something? maybe?? PLEASE don't tell me I need a new transmission or something, I think I'll cry! any ideas? |

It's supposed to do that. It's letting the engine warm up before it shifts into the final gear. It's Prolonging the life of your drive train.
