Q: Car stuck in 3rd gear

asked by on June 12, 2017

Hello, I recently replaced my input and output sensors on my transmission to help with codes p0500 and p0501. Later that day when I drove my car around it started jumping and was stuck in third gear. I checked my codes and p0760 and p0765 came up. I checked that they are for the solenoids in the transmission but it's strange that they would both act up at the same time? Would the fix be different than changing the solenoids? Would a replacement TCM be the fix as well?

Buy a brand new battery that is fully charged prior to installation so that you do not needlessly load the alternator. Change the engine oil and filter. Ideally (but this is optional), you should pressurize the oil system (https://www.summitracing.com/parts/mel-mpl-101?seid=srese1&cm_mmc=pla-google-_-shopping-_-srese1-_-melling&gclid=CMad36nQ_tECFR61wAodtbMCkg) prior...
