97 breeze won’t shift (a/t)

I was leaving the driveway this morning, windows down music at a good
level and started down the road when i noticed that the rev’s were
around 3000, let off the accelerator and it wouldn’t shift so i tried
to get it to shift by putting it in 3rd and then low and nothing it
stayed in the gear which i assume is first..what could this be?

It sounds like it went into limp mode. When one of the transmission sensors
reports a problem, the transmission will remain in second gear.

The best thing to do would be to take it to a reputable transmission
shop that
has the appropriate scan tool. If they merely want to do a "test
drive," take it
somewhere else.

It may be as simple as a sensor failure, all the way to needing a
rebuild. The
transmissions in the "Cloud Cars" have been fairly reliable.
