Have a 722.4 that is second gear starting (I think it's supposed to?). If you put it into reverse you feel it go into a gear but if you push on the throttle it just revs up against the torque converter stall like you're brake boosting it.

In a straight line around the parking lot it shifts fine between 2 and 3, I don't have enough room to get up into 4th.

If you select L to get the car into 1st it behaves the same as it does in Reverse. Acts like the parking brake is set. In neutral the car rolls freely and smoothly.

I also noticed if you rev it up in Neutral it will creep forward a little bit.

The fluid is nice and clean, doesn't smell bad and is a good color. Car has fairly low miles on it.

Is this indicative of anything other than a bum trans? I would rather fix this trans than replace if it all possible, but I have never experienced this type of failure.

The car has sat for about 10 years, some have suggested since 2-3-4 seem to work, get it out on the road at highway speed and just run it for a while and see if something unsticks.

What say you PeachParts?
