Alright cool, I will let him know. <br>
he hasnt mentioned anything about the OD light, but I will tell him to watch for it.

 

If it the OD light flashes there should be a stored trouble code

 

He checked the torx bolts, they are good. When he moves it, it seems to go into gear. He says there is a black thing on the side of transmission, and when you shift it it moves a little. Is that normal? Sorry for being vague, I just cant recall what he is talking about. Also, when its cold it works ok, it seems when its warm it acts up. When warm, put it into drive, and it hops into gear then apply brake it comes out. Its inconsistent sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt. 1st and 2nd seem to work most of the time, reverse always works. Its worst when going from reverse to drive, it will rev to 1k then shift into gear.

 

Also, he says when pointed uphill, and pu into drive it will just roll backwards, as if completely in neutral.

 

Does the black thing have wiring connected to it?and is it under the shift lever? drivers side

 

yep thats it. and has like a nut connected to it... or inside it or something.

 

That is the manual lever position sensor it should be bolted to the trans case with two 8mm headed bolts it tells the computer what gear the driver selected PRND21,if that is loose that could be your promblem,it has to be tight to the case and has an adjustment on it

 

ok cool, that may be my problem, ok so is it supposed to move?

 

Its tight. Maybe the whole part is bad.

possible it should set a trouble code for an electrical promblem

 

see thats what i thought, so it brings me back to I have no idea.

 

Basicilly the foward clutch has to engage in all foward ranges,if it was a pump promblem reverse would be affected also.If there are no trouble codes and the shift linkage is good I would say there is a internal promblem.

 

hmm not something i want to hear, i havent gotten a code reader yet so i cant rule anything out completely. Could it be torque converter?

 

If it was a torque converter promblem it would be in reverse too.Has to be a internal promblem or linkage promblem,If you disconnect the trans from the computer the trans will still have 4th gear.
