It will not shift into 3rd and will not go over 35 mph.

Then you have a serious problem. If you post more info about you van, I might be able to give better advice.

When I take off, it shifts ok until it trys to shift into 3rd. I loose power and can’t get over 35 mph. Is it possible the computer???

The Transmission Control Module has detected a system fault and placed the transmission in limp mode, second gear. You will need to read the fault codes in the TCM, could be a simple problem like a failed input or output speed sensor, could be something major.

Robert, I still know next to nothing about your van. Miles on it? Is the check engine light on? What engine it has?

Nevada_545 is on the right track here, I think. You might find good advice at allpar.com . Their minivan site has helped me a lot.

Since the transmission won’t shift up from second gear there is a 99% chance that this is the 42TE transmission.

This Van has a 3.8 but I do not know the Type of tranny.
