Is it a trans control solenoid ? Just bought car guy said trans control module. Anyway it won't shift at all in drive or manually

 

ya it wont shift at all no matter what yall tri cuz the computer does all the shifting. it could be a sensor, solinoid, wiring, comptuer, relay, fuse, and some other stuff, yall can guess but them good scanners is the only way to really fix the thing. if there aint enouf info, then its all a stab in the dark. kinda like going to the doc with a broken bone, they dont just guess if its broke, they use tools to diagnose like an x-ray.

 

Does it go forward/reverse just not shift thru the gears ??? (stays in second gear)

 

It is a 2.5, 99. Bad venge - you are correct. It does move think it winds up to about 40 mph and that's it. Reverse is fine. Circumventor - I posted the question just like everyone would. " I can't be the only one who has experienced this". I'm not expecting a catch all statement to be my savior, but for opinions on what they might have experienced.

 

I know that any electrical problem will cause this problem, but as stated a scanner is the only why to determine that.

 

Doesthe speedo work ???
if so I'd replace the input speed sensor ... info at the top of the page for location

 

You should replace input and output speed sensors, TCM, Solenoid pack, trans relay and range switch assembly. Or just get it properly scanned so you don't waste the time or materials. I see, in just about every transmission post, people are into tossing parts at these transmission problems and lots of suggestions to do so. Yet this process rarely fixes the the problem. A quick scan, not a code reader which only reads PCM and not TCM, doesn't cut it. A scanner is the necessarry tool

 

Spent $100 for the dealer to tell me I needed a new trans, my buddy pulled the codes for me and sd its elec. Had auto zone scan it they came up with input out sensor, 20 bucks later I have a working trans. Gave the dealer a talking to this morning, gonna reimburse my money. Told service manager I showed up with the codes yest. And they still said need a rebuild,I thank you for all the help.

 

yall need to turn them into beter businss, thats totally rippin yall off. them scanners shur make a differenc dont they?
