1992 Chrysler New Yorker Questions & Answers
1992 Chrysler New Yorker transmission won't shift out of first gear.
Hi,
i had the same problem like drushlow in my Eagle Vision, wich has the same engine and transmission. Your transmission is going into safety mode wich allows you to go on but just in 2nd gear. The Problem in my car was the EGR Valve. In other words the engine had a problem and the transmission swiched into safety mode to make sure the engine don´t get any more damage. So i´m very sure your transmission is still OK but there is only one way to find out what is wrong. Drive to a chrysler dealer and read the errror code (that only cost you 20 to 40 dollars). After that you know what´s wrong and can decide what you wanna do.
Son's 1992 New Yorker, changed battery now big electrical issues
You need to check all of the fuses in your glove box and the relays behind it. You will need to remove the glove box to get access to them. There are relays under the hood as well and they all need to be checked especially the ASD one which is left side toward the cab end one. Since your transmission is stuck in one gear this usually means it is limp home mode and needs to be serviced or replaced. Check the fluid to make sure it is not brown and has a burnt smell. If it does then most likely it needs a new one.
