My Meridian Goes From 1st To 3 Rd Gear. How To Fix. It's New And We Have Ass

The shifter linkage may be misaligned. This can happen if the shifter is not properly installed or if it is damaged. To check the shifter linkage, you can follow these steps:

Locate the shifter linkage. It is usually a metal rod that connects the shifter to the transmission.

Check to see if the shifter linkage is properly aligned with the transmission. The shifter should be able to move freely from 1st to 3rd gear without any binding.

If the shifter linkage is misaligned, you can try to realign it yourself or take the vehicle to a mechanic.

The transmission fluid may be low. Low transmission fluid can cause the transmission to shift erratically. To check the transmission fluid level, you can follow these steps:

Locate the transmission fluid dipstick. It is usually located on the side of the transmission.

Remove the dipstick and wipe it clean.

Insert the dipstick back into the transmission and remove it again.

The transmission fluid level should be between the "full" and "add" marks on the dipstick.

If the transmission fluid level is low, you can add more transmission fluid.

The transmission may be damaged. If the transmission is damaged, it may not be able to shift gears properly. In this case, you will need to take the vehicle to a mechanic to have the transmission repaired or replaced.

If you have ruled out all of the above possibilities and your Meridian is still only going from 1st to 3rd gear, then it is possible that there is a more serious problem with the transmission. In this case, you will need to take the vehicle to a mechanic to have it diagnosed.

I hope this helps!
