My son's 1999 protege is having transmission problems. It seems to be stuck in one gear (2nd, it's an automatic). So the choices are park and D with one gear. Also, the "OD off" light is flashing on the dash panel no matter how you click on the OD button on the gear shift.
We brought the car back to my son's house but hesitant to take it to a transmission shop before getting a general idea what could be causing this.
I've heard rumors that this particular model Protege used a Ford transmission that was noted for problems but we've never had an issue with this car's transmission until this week when it started going in and out of gear at first, then it wouldn't go into park or reverse and now drive in 1 gear only.
Any ideas out there?
