Description of the problem | Transmission (the dsp6) computer (transmission control module, or tcm) is prone to failure resulting in a car that cannot be driven reliably on roads without potentially falling into an unintentional neutral. On april 6th, upon starting the car up i was unable to reverse, and managed to limp to the dealer in low gear only. As at least one gear was known to be non-functional, i could not endanger myself or others on the road by attempting to shift gears further for concern of it failing completely or falling into neutral in traffic. |
