I know this is an old thread but did you ever find the fix to this? My c33 laurel is doing the exact same thing.

Jesus what a thread bump. It could be a ton of things. Automatic transmissions have a fuck ton of moving parts. Being stuck in 2nd is more than likely the default gear when something breaks. You could have a oil pump issue, worn clutch packs/bands, internal leaks (pressure loss), clogged valve body, broken sun gear/planetary gears, who knows. With as old as they are, it's not exactly worth overhauling. Not to mention parts needed to do so. And even then, it's likely to go out again. I'd try to find another one that's working, it convert to a manual (if you can)
