well just got all moved out to MI and what happens after trailering the car here....... 3 days later the car wont start. It was like the battery was dead but after 3-5 tries it started. Then i get on the freeway and it wont shift past 2nd. and when i come to a stop light or stop sign it does not go into 1st...... all the time it starys in 2nd. My biggest concern is that this tranny has only 20,000 miles on it...... oh and the spedo was stuck at 30mph.

could it be the speed sensors???


oh yes one more thing... before the car would not start i had a cel light for powerstering sensor, now i have no cel, even after driving it home 15miles stuck in second!!

 

anyone???

 

what code were you pulling for the power steering ? was it something like 0551?

 

yup, p0551, power steering high pressure switch. I drove it a little more last night and the cel light came back on but no trans code. it seemed to shift fine now in 1-2 did not leave my steet to get more gears....... man i want to do an mtx swap!

 

ok i finally got a code.....
P0700 Transmission Control System Malfunction

Does that mean my ATX computer is fried? Its not stuck in second anymore but it shifts really bad and at the wrong times,

 

Damn man when do you not have transmission problems lol. As for your code, throwing a P0700, since the 03+ 4-speed transmissions have the TCM inside the PCM, its unlikely that one will fail without the other...the code is a pretty general transmission fault code, but in most cases it is always serious and ends in a transmission rebuild or big overhaul of the transmission. To really figure out what it means you'll need a ScanTool or DRBIII.

 

i dont know i am always having problems with this damn tranny, i want to just do a MTX swap but dont have the money. I dont know what i am doing to it but it suxs ars!! Guess i have to start looking for another tranny!
