When does the transmission shift out of 2nd gear?
Transmission does not shift out of 2nd gear. This generally happens when the PCM senses an electrical problem and commands the transmission to stay in what is known as ‘Limp In Mode’. In ‘Limp In Mode’, the automatic transmission will not downshift or upshift at all.
Can a bad speed sensor affect shift timing?
Harsh or improper shifting. Without a valid speed signal from these sensors, the PCM will not be able to correctly control the shifting of gears within the transmission. This may cause the transmission to shift roughly or more quickly than normal. It’s also common that a problem with these sensors can impact the shift timing,…
Why does my transmission not work at 35 mph?
At speeds over 35 MPH, the engine feels like it’s over-revving. This is also due to the fact that the transmission is staying in 2nd gear and the gear ratio provided by 2nd gear is gonna’ keep the engine working pretty hard at any speed above 35 MPH.

What happens when you shift your transmission hard?
When the transmission shifts hard, it can damage internal components including valve bodies, hydraulic lines, and in some cases mechanical gears. If you notice your transmission is shifting harshly or roughly, you should contact a local ASE certified mechanic as soon as possible.
How often do you shift a Harley Davidson?
Riding the throttle for more speed but able to release the throttle to maintain 79/80… I shift @3000rpm most of the time. Cruise between 2ooo and 2500.My perception is a little better gas millage. At sixty I use sixth gear. Take it to 4000 to merge into traffic going 65 or more.
