why does my tranmition only work in forth gear

Your forth gear is most likely the overdrive gear. It sounds like your transmission needs to be replaced or repaired. If you plan on keeping the car, then you should replace it with a refurbished one. Or, sell it and get yourself another car. Not having a forth gear is OK as long as you are not on a highway. Otherwise, your RPM will be so high that it will overheat your engine.

Try pressing the overdrive button. The overdrive position is supposed to be "on", but when you need some extra power for towing, or passing, you would turn it "off" and it will keep the car in a lower gear.

do not listen to Mr Mui, he obviously does not know what he is talking about, operating your vehicle WITHOUT fourth gear will not cause your engine to over heat if the 'fourth' gear is overdrive, this gear is for increased fuel economy, for the most part, so operating without it will, in most cases, only result in less fuel economy.

Check brake lites if they stay on or pedal doesn't return all the way transmission will not go into overdrive.

need transmission fluid and possibly a new transmission and get it checked with a mechanic and have them look at it and fix it cause they got equipment tools and a lift
