Transmission question

[coachk11]

I have a 1992 Sub Legacy Auto with 190k kms that runs very well but the
transmission shifts 1st to 2nd but not 2nd to 3rd. Reverse is fine and
no noise, grinding or slipping. There is no modulaor valve on this
model so if some has a answer that won't mean a rebuild or replacement
pls let me know.

Thx Ed

Does your model have the trans hold button on the centre console near the
hand brake?? I find that it can be knocked to the "on" position real easy.
It's designed to hold the trans in Lo-2nd for ice and mud etc. Easy to
check.

Hi Don and Ole Factory
Just got back from vacation and saw your posts. Answers to the post are
as follows
1- yes my legacy has the Hold utton below the main button on ther
shifter.
2- the button clicks in and out so therefore I assum that its not be
accidently knocked to on.
3- the Legacy is a 2wd not AWD so I'm not sure that the symptons would
be the same as Ole Factory mentioned?
I will check the linkage that relates to the button. I assume that its
under the car?

Again folks thanks, Ed
