I drive a 1992 w250, I noticed my transmission didn't shift into 3rd gear while driving to work this morning. I live in Atlanta but work next to the airport about 40 miles away, I was about halfway to the job when it finally shifted. Got a decent power surge from the truck when it happened. I checked the fluid, level was fine but now I don't have any idea what could be going on. The fluid is about all I know about transmissions. I drive an automatic by the way. So, any ideas? If I need a new one, who carries transmissions for our trucks anymore? Any thoughts on having it rebuilt? There's an AAMCO a few miles from the house. Please let me know.

Are you sure it was in second and not shifting third or could it have been in third and not shifting into overdrive.

I'm not sure exactly which gear it was but I did push my overdrive button thinking maybe that would help. The light never came on but then again I also have an electrical issue where sometimes dash lights work and sometimes the don't. You think maybe its a loose wire?
