i have a 95 seville sls trans seems smooth but never shifts from 1st just the faster you drive the higher the rpms get but no slipping.i drove the car on the highway never noticed any problems. i had a stud and tire changed after being on the lifts i started noticing the problem.what could be wrong

Start with checking fluid level.

i dont believe its the fluid level i had checked it. could the speed sensor cause this problem or is this maybe inside the tranny

Codes will come up using "Onboard Diagnostics" see faq section. Likely cause broken shift solenoid(s)
