hello people,
Just a quick question. If i thrash my car or take off quickly from the lights, the tranny kicks into limp home mode where it shifts quite uncomfortably and tends to not kick into 4th gear. However, i don't get any error codes logged when limp home mode kicks in. Reading from other threads, this is fixed simply by replacing the solenoid, but what i wanted to know is, could limp home mode be a sign of wear and tear on the tranny? Also, there is a 1-2 second delay when i shift the gears from park to drive or reverse. Is this another sign of wear and tear? I plan on doing some towing soon so i just wanted to know if a shift kit would be recommended. I don't want to install a shift kit if these issues are a sign of wear and tear.
Thanks,
