Ok so we had a bad overheat and blew head gasket. All back together and runs great except that tranny will not shift out of 1st, speedo cable is broken at bottom line, changed tranny fluid and filter and no leaks. Oh and if I put it in neutral while I am driveing it will still stay in first but real slippy. Can anyone point me in the right direction, and there are no trouble codes on the OD light.

Replace the speedo cable and see if that helps

Yep I agree with SPDu4ea, iirc the auto needs the speed sensor signal to know when to shift. Replace the cable.

Great thanks for the help. Maybe someone knows where to find one????

local stealership. Shouldn't cost too much

Today I shortened the bottom cable and used a pipe clamp to hold it all together and the speedometer worked and it shifted just fine. Couldnt wait till monday to see if that was it. Thanks again for the help.

Today I got a 61 transmition code, defective number 2 speed sensor in the automatic transmission.It is shifting correctly now but kind of rough in over drive. I cleared the codes and same code came up after driving a bit.

That's a bummer if you can't shift your car in 1st car, your clutch plate would worn out without it and probably you need to replace the tranny fluid constantly too.
