v6 auto stuck in first

[YILDI2]

i tried checking my codes for an hr but i was unable to get any codes
even though i followed the procedures
bridged 5-6, my fan goes on engine light only goes on once and thats immediately after turning the key ( so lights come on ) after that i waited 5- 10 mins nothing came up i tried it a couple of times

since everyone favors the TPS ill see what my mechanic says tommorow

hi guys
my myechanic told me to take it to a auto place and let them see what the problem is
i said it may be the TPS he said it could be but still insisted i go to a auto mechanic
since i cant read error codes i dont know wat to do ?
i dont to end up replacing a couple things when the problem is probably just one of them

here's the error code procedure if your not sure

If you can get to holden i would still try a tps as it would be cheaper than getting an auto mechanic to even look at the box, generally if the box is going it's the solenoids which you will still have other gears left, but anythings possible.

thanks The1

im aware of the procedure it just isnt happening in my vr
ive seen that other people have had the same problem as i have , i bridge 5-6 fan works once i turn it on so dats a sign but engine lamp only flashes once and thats after i turn the key never again
so i cant see what error codes i have which is really pissing me off since i would atleast have a good idea what the problem is if i was to be able to see the error codes

ye i might just go with changing the TPS how much do they cost ?

that's strange about the error codes, tried reseting the ecu? pull the engine fuse in the engine bay for 15mins i think the tps was less than $50 when i bought one.

 

[YILDI2]

i pulled the wires off the battery for 15 mins isnt it the same as pulling the fuse out ?

thanks for your input The1

 

[YILDI2]

called up my local wreckers and he said he'll do a TPS for $40
is it hard to change ? ill see if theres a how to somewhere lets use know if it fixes the problem tomorrow if not it'll leave me with VSS and shift solenoid

 

[gr8shag]

check for error codes could be shift solinoid in the box or tps or vss

yer the shift solinoids dont like heat much

If it's transmission, any number of problems including clutches and solenoids could be rooted. Not too much fun in terms of replacing either.
