Just in the last two weeks, my trans seems to get stuck between 1st & 2nd gear when accellerating. This lasts for about 20-30 seconds then it jumps in to gear. It happens at least 3-4 times before the engine temp gets to just under the half mark on the temp gauge. Yesterday my check engine light came on also.

Hi:
It sounds like there may be a shift solenoid problem on the valve body. If the check engine light is on, take the car to a nationally recognized parts and have them scan the computer for trouble codes. Most of the stores will do it for free and it will point us in the right direction.

Let me know what you find.
