Full story: Trans (car) has shuddered in 4th gear since I got it. I thought it was due to the wrong power valve, but that didn't resolve the problem. Went to a car show a few weeks ago, at first it would not shift to 4th, just hung in 3rd. After it warmed up it would go from 4th to 2nd with the slightest touch of the throttle. I thought I might have a kickdown cable issue, but never looked into it. I took the car to get it aligned just now and it has no 3rd gear at all. It shifts 1st, 2nd, NEUTRAL (no go). No matter what I do I can't get it to engage third, it just spins. 1st and 2nd are still strong.
