I was driving to a friends house and 2nd gear and fourth gear started not to engage only 2nd gear would at 4,000 rpms. 4th gear will not engage at all the car has only 119,235 miles and I have kept good service on it. I had the fluid flushed and still did not fix the problem. I spoke to a person that said that they will try to flash the computer. Hope it works I also hope that I don't end up in an accident on the road because the gear lunches into 2nd causing the truck to jerk forward.
