Normal
My old truck would randomly get stuck in 3rd gear when the ignition screwed up. Sometimes I could shake the keys around and it would go back to normal. If that didn't work I resorted to punching it softly. Then I would be forced to pull over and restart the truck if beating on the ignition didn't fix it. There were a few occasions when I couldn't get it to reset so I would be stuck towing a boat around in 3rd which fawkin blows, especially when you get caught at a red light going uphill. I could put it in 2nd manually but it was still tough to get going with a load.Overall the bad ignition made the trans do some random **** and it never would act up when I hooked a scanner to it.Woodson Jones Chevy in Fort Payne ended up fixing it for me.Edit: Mine was a 4L60E
