Hi I’ve got this 55’ Chevy with auto transmission. It wont auto shift into higher 3rd gear. I’ve got the tranny apart and on a workbench. What do I do?

Call a transmission shop and ask if they make house calls.

Wait a minute. If you have TWO third gears, THAT is your problem.

Maybe you got a powerglide.

Replace the whole thing with an XP tranny...

This would be a good time to install an M-22 rock crusher.

Buy a VOLT, of course...

Check yourself into rehab.
The '55 Chevy automatic transmission was a "Powerglide" and it only had 2 gears.

You need access to a computer.
First carefully move all the tranny parts to one side of your workbench, then go into the house and use that computer to order a decent performance transmission online. It will be delivered to your house and you can it bolt right up.

Next go back out to your workbench, look at the old tranny and ask yourself, “What was I thinking???”

It's broke beyond all hope. Send me your address, and I'll get rid of it for you.

Buy an Obamabot Volt at 42 Gs before demand drives the price up.
