Low gear appears to be gone..
94 Brave 27RC with 454 chevy engine apparently has lost the low gear. 110,000 total miles. I can still drive but nervous about moving it unless absolutely necessary. I live in Florida where it is real...

How does the transmission fluid look? Dirty, burnt, is the level correct?
That's where I would start.
incorrect fluid level wont cause no first gear if it was that low it would have no gear. Those electronic overdrives are a complicated trans I would seek out a person whom knows that particular trans and let him repair it.I use to work on those a bit sounds like the low/reverse band may be burnt out
just remembered something else! does it seem to stay in 2 nd gear?
sometimes when there a engine problem the check engine lite comes on and they go into whats called limp home mode 2nd gear only
Thanks. I'm just stabbing at the simple things to check. I do think the fluid should be checked for condition. Hopefully it's just a little dirt/Crud causing the problem.
It's a 94 Brave with 110,000 miles. Maybe the transmission was never serviced?
