I paid 11500 for my ve commodore second hand last September and have had nothing but fault after fault for last 3 months, just had transmission oil n filter done as it needed a new internal switch in the transmission (cant think right now what the switch is called correctly) and tried clearing codes when got it home. Codes wont clear and now the po500 is showing up... Some bloody decent advice be really great right now.

They told me to go back to the auto electrician I first took it too who sent me to the transmission specialist to get it fixed and now they want me to go back to the auto electrician to get it done as they couldn't do it..

Take your car to supercheap to get the codes cleared if those 2 guys are stuffing you around. They did one for me last week for $14 on another car (not VE). If your trans repair was done correctly the codes should clear. Not sure what po500 code is but they can tell you if it's related to your trans or not.

Not sure what po500 code is

Google says ... "The P0500 diagnostic trouble code tells us there is a fault found with the vehicle speed sensor. The speed sensor is monitored by the ECU and when it fails to operate properly the P0500 code is set."

How can anyone not know anything anymore is beyond me ...

The trans shop sounds hopeless. They should be able to read and clear transmission fault codes. Did they say they tried to clear it?

She says she tried clearing it but it wouldn't clear. This means that the fault is still present.
The DTC will only clear when the PCM doesn't detect a fault.

So, hang on.
Did you ask them to repair the fault, or just change the oil and filter? or both?
What does your invoice say?
