I had 2 solenoids and the hydrolic valves in my transmission go which was causing limp home mode.

Damn auto trannys.

S1 and S3 I think it was and all of the little nylon balls that block the valves in the transmission depending on which gear your in had all disintegrated.

Driving around in 3rd gear is fun.. NOT

Sounds like the transmission had the wrong oil in it as I've never seen these disintegrate before :shock:

ohk i have the same prob, but i replaced the speed sender and gear a month ago, wat is the inhibitor switch and how much are they, also how much is a new shift solinoide? wat are the chances of this fixing it? by the way it only does it when its cold, once at running temp i turn the car off, and back on agian and it will shift. WTF???


dude check your oil do you have a dip stick???
if so read the under side of it
i was having it play up when it was cold and it was ok
but when u look at the under side of it it was low

The computer probabily thinks there is a problem with your torque converter since it is now stalling higher than normal.

Either fit a lower stall converter or aftermarket ecu.

I said this ages ago, run a diagnostic to find the fault codes. There is no point guessing what to replace.
