2005 Sable just operates in first, park, N and R. When it goes to shift from 1st to 2nd nothing engages and engine revs. If left in 1st position, it is fine but, of course stays in first. If in D or OD, it starts of normally with no slipping but just revs when shifting from 1st to 2nd. Car must come to a complete stop again before it will go again in 1st. I never had a problem at all with shifting or slipping. This just happened all at once. The only thing it would do strange on occasion is slightly accelerate when I left off the pedal. I have been reading some forums and the VSS seems to be a problem and sometimes the TSS. I have located the VSS under heat shield and exhaust near the firewall. I want to be sure this is the problem because I guess it is quite a job. If this is the problem, where can I find and aftermarket replacement or better yet, a part #?
Thanks in advance.
Update! I took it for a short ride after it cooled down and it went into 2nd and D but revved at high rpm. Went down to 1st, no slippage and normal operation in 1st only.
