Description of the problem | Automated manual 6 speed transmission has been exhibiting clutch shuddering for at least 6 months, dealer ordered new clutches 3 months ago and are still on back order. Saturday may 30th 2015 while pulling away from a stop light making a left turn at approx 5-10 mph the rpm went to around 5000 like the clutch was slipping then started shifting extremely rough and rpm up and down while the gas pedal was held steady at what should have been a low rpm state of no more than 2000-3000 rpm. While at city speeds going up a long hill it seemed like the transmission was stuck in 5th or 6th gear and would not shift even in sport manual mode and bogged down until finally with the gas held down it jerked violently and down shifted. When parking several miles later it would not go into reverse. This was a moderately warm day of about 75 degrees after a 25 mile freeway drive, the engine was not overheating and the oil level was good. The next morning my diagnostic computer (a can obd2) detected the dtc codes p2862 and p2837 and the car is apparently working normally after clearing the codes and driving around the block. |
