2002 X TYPE Transmission Trouble
I have a steady engine light on and the GEAR FAULT error which started up a week or so ago - after a few minutes of some rough shifting, car locks into limp mode. Took car in to my mechanic and here is his diagnosis -
Checked codes, cleared codes, test drove - vehicle has flair / slip in 2nd 3rd - Trans. code P0778 returns right away. Checked solenoid ( pins 52, 4 , 13, 16 ) resistance 0.9 ohms spec is 2.9 ohms. Solenoid is defective. Transmission fluid level is full but fluid is very dark and smells burnt indicating internal damage / wear - recommendation replace transmission.
Haven't gotten a 2nd opinion yet - before I resign myself to new tranny, I wanted to post for some advice, workaround, etc.
Thanks! Michael
