Hey all,
So just recently my automatic transmission started to stutter. It was drive-able until last night, when the overdrive stopped working. I could turn it on and off without any change in gear. Today on a nice drive at 70mph with no overdrive in 3rd hear, the car ripped up into 2nd and never let me have 3rd again.
Strange problems: (that may or may not be related, but their timing is the same)
-can shift into drive, but transmission won't change
-tried starting out in drive, and it shifted down to first and up to second fine
-when I go from neutral to drive, there is about a half a second of the actual drive (3rd gear), but then shifts into second
-when I shift into reverse from park, the car shudders so violently that if I don't have all of my weight on the brake pedal before I shift, it will lurch into reverse and who knows what I will hit.
-neutral sticks at around 2100rpm
DTCs
-P0122
-P1120
-P1121
These would make sense if I hadn't gotten my TPS fixed a month ago. I didn't want to do it myself since I didn't have the connections to find a replacement auto TPS sensor.
About 3000 miles ago, I flushed and replaced the transmission fluid along with the filter because it was dirty and clogged. While I had the time, I replaced the overdrive solenoid with a new genuine motorcraft solenoid. It ran a lot better since that flush up until recently.
Thanks in advance.
