It's an older truck, automatic transmission. When I put it in drive, it will occasionally stay in low gear for awhile. At first it wasn't really a problem because it only happened when the truck had been left to set for awhile, but now it happens all the time. Is my transmission shelling out? or is it just a part that I can replace?

tranny fluid was normal awhile ago and now it's almost an inch high on the dipstick. O_o

Are you Checking the Fluid With the Engine running? Check Engine Oil Engine Off, Transmission Engine running, Warm is Best If you Can!
Need to Change Fluid & Filter! Might even want to think about a Flush? Check with a Good Transmission Shop!

There is a diaphragm on the side of the transmission that senses vacuum/pressure from the intake manifold. If this diaphragm is failed, it may be the cause of your problem. If that is the case it is like a $30 fix that you should be able to do yourself.

Check the tranny fluid.
