[DML] Re: Auto trans stuck in 2nd

["Harold McElraft" <hmcelraft@xxxxxxx>]

The engine starts in 2nd gear? There is no neutral? No reverse? Is 
there "park"? These indicate a mechanical problem.

If you take the fuse out (fuse 13)- it should go into 3rd gear when 
you are in "D".

If the fuse pull doesn't work you most likely have a mechanical 
problem - stuck solenoid, broken cable, malfunctioning multi-function 
switch, etc.

Properly checking the trans requires some specific knowledge of the 
transmission, and some special tools (some you can build). Hopefully 
you are near a DeLorean service center because that is what you 
probably need.
