1990 Chevy Silverado wont shift into drive or
overdrive r,1,2, work fine.

SF:
Hello, these conditions signify a failure in the forward clutch assembly or the forward
sprag. Basically an internal transmission failure. The trans. will have to come out and
be overhauled, or a rebuilt replacement installed. A rebuilt unit will have any updates
that may have been released for this trans. since the unit was built.

Dear MW Sometimes the headlights don't come on. Then when I
wiggle the turn signal handle they come on. Sometimes they come and then
go off...

Question:
2000 GMC jimmy. Gas gauge fluctuates wildly when transmission is in neutural.
In drive it is steady but rarely falls below 3/4 even when the tank is nearly empty.
GM Tech JK:
This is a classic sign of a faulty fuel level sensor.
The fact of the change when in gear or in park is a characteristic of this truck.
When in park or neutral, the fuel level signal goes directly to the gauge without any
buffering. When in gear, the gauge signal goes through a buffer, and the change is
much slower. They program it this way to eliminate fluctuation when the truck is
accelerating or turning. This is a normal operation of the gauge, to go through the
buffer or not. But either way, the level sensor is faulty.
