Got it figured out- but I hate that the car thinks it's smarter than me....


I drove the car to work today, at the request of Mrs Rig. I went out at lunch for a Dr. appointment, but the car would not go- the check engine light came on and the trans program message came up on the cluster. I tried a couple of times to restart the car, but it was locked in limp mode. SOOOOO I borrowed a co-workers car to get to my appointment.

After work, I pulled the codes using the code reader, and it came up with something like "torque convertor lockup too high". I cleared the codes, and re-adjusted the shifter cable at the tranny, and it's A-OK! Drives great, even got rid of lots of the shimmy that it had previously.

I guess the tranny computer was confused, because when the car was in Drive, the indicator was blank or showed Neutral. Funny thing is that I drove it like this for about 40 miles before any codes were set.
