Maybe not. Go to Auto Zone and have them pull the error codes. Go to a transmission place not a dealer, most are ripoffs. Do some research on transmission places. Try to find a reputable shop. it could be a solenoid that runs about $400.00 for the part but you need to have it hooked up to a computer to get the troubleshoot code first.

If your transmission is picking up a fault it will go into protection mode, No OverDrive, This may just be a solonoid or perhaps something more serios like a pressure problem. Long term running in this condition will most likely cause damage, A transmission service is a small price to pay when compared with a recon or new trans.
