replaced the PCM and still same issue. They are saying because I didn't buy a "new" one it's likely bad as well.

replaced PCM with a Intense reprogrammed PCM.... still same problem. It doesn't do it every time when coming to a stop it's intermittent. I'm about to blow this car up.

fuses and relays under hood and backseat

gas cap: Here's basic quick checks... Could be triggered while filling tank with car on, faulty cap, not tightened cap. Have the code reset and see what happens.

When i had that problem it was a bad cap.

could be other issues but start there ...

Windows: you can buy just the motor check www.rockauto.com The regulator is what usually fails

Hard shift: Does it do it while the car is cold, warm, or all the time? Could be PCS sensor. I would do a trans pan drop replace filter and refill. While you have the pan drop you could look into adding a ...

Took it back to the shop they claimed there's two codes apparently that pop up. I am about to get the print out from them. u1040 p1624 :banghead:


I picked car up with no SES light and took it to another shop that did work on my dad's truck. They came up with code P0756 and my SES light was on. I ...

Apparently there are now two codes

I'm going to pick it up... do some research

Hopefully someone on here will be able to help. If not off to the dealer I go.

Also could this be an issue resulting from swappping transmission's with the wrong code instead of actually rebuilding my unit?

Well how many attempts should a shop get to fix one problem? It's getting ridiculous.

bump for some help

Well I got the car back and noticed the RPMs would go up and the car did not move occasionally while turning when accelerating from a stop. I took it back they blamed it on the code for MAF sensor and they couldn't experience the problem only hesitation. I laughed and said okay I'll replace the ...

Just wanted to update...

Took it to two different shops and they both recommended a rebuild.

Rebuilt trans by a local trans shop $1700 with two year warranty. They claimed the "cookie cutter"? was at fault.



All is good now

What is the average price for a rebuild on this trans? Is there anything that is a MUST during a rebuild so I can verify the shop is aware.

Should I just go the used route instead of rebuild?

Insight:
204k miles on my Bonnie it was experiencing some hard shifts after about an hour of driving. I was thinking it was the trans possibly overheating and debated on putting a bigger aftermarket trans cooler. I decided to drop the pan and add a DIY shift kit with fluid/filter change which was ...
