Update on the shifting problem with my tranny... 850 95

posted by  someone claiming to be Kenneth on  Fri Nov 30 13:46 CST 2001 [RELATED]

For those that have not been following my earlier post, I've been experiencing a shifting problem in my 850 Turbo. The transmission refuses to upshift. It usually occur after a cold start and the problem will go away after a couple of minutes.

We had a cold front earlier this week and the it made it worse. The transmission was stuck in the "limp" (winter) mode with the arrow on the dash flashing. The Check Engine light stayed on and the E/S/Winter switch on the console was also flashing.

Many on this board have suggested the problem is due to the faulty PNP switch. My dealer called me today and told me the hydraulics in the transmission is bad and advised me a new transmission is needed. I told them to check to PNP switch but they insisted a new transmission is needed. I stopped arguing with them since my extended warranty will cover the repair. But, I will be laughing really hard at them if the new transmission won't fix the problem.

I will keep you guys posted.

Thanks,

Kenneth
