Consumer Description

UPON ACCELERATING ON AN ON RAMP, THE SHIFTING DID NOT WORK PROPERLY. IT WILL NOT EASILY SHIFT FROM 1ST GEAR TO 2ND GEAR. I HAD SOMEONE PUT A COMPUTER READER ON THE TRUCK AND IT SAID IT WAS A GEAR SHIFT RATIO FOR GEAR #2. THE OUT TAKE SENSOR WAS REPLACED WITH A NEW ONE, HOWEVER THAT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. I DO NOT HAVE ANY OTHER PROBLEMS WITH ANY OTHER GEARS. ALL OTHERS SHIFT FLAWLESSLY EXCEPT FOR THE AFORE MENTIONED. THANK YOU
