Got a c4 auto transmission. Was "built" but not exactly sure what was done to it, the car has no 3rd gear(drive) only have 1-2 and the d don't work. It's got a b&m shifter. 1-2-d-n-r-p , so im wondering what was done to remove 3rd gear, i want it back !!

They make new pistons every day, so why worry?

You could have any number of problems here. It could be as simple as a linkage adjustment or as serious as the third gear bands being wiped out. I would check the shifter adjustment first and go from there. Is this a manual or automatic valve body?

if you hold it in d, does it go through all 3 gears or just 1 & 2?
