QuestionHe there, I have a 95 Cirrus that will stick in 2nd gear on occasion. Then if I shut it off it is fine and shifts very nice. It has 177K miles on it. I get error code 41, which when I look it up doesn't help me. All i know is it is electrical. Got any quick suggestions I can try to fix it? I am poor and about the only way it can be done is if I do it.
AnswerCode 41 is related to the charging system so I doubt it's related to your shifting problem. It's something that needs to get addressed but not immediately.
The quick fixes for around $50.00 will be replacing two sensors on the transmission called input and output speed sensors.
Unfortunately, it's not a sure thing, you may waste $50.00 and if it's not them the repair costs will START at $250.00 and could reach $2,000.
There's another person (female) who asked about these same sensors (even on the same kind of car) and I gave her detailed instructions. You'll need to check some of my previous responses for that info.
Ballin' on a budget, that's where I'd start.
