I got my transmission swapped a few weeks ago after experiencing hard shifts when shifting from park to reverse and also my transmission would not shift past 3rd gear, leaving me only able to go up to 35mph. The to wrench light was on and the mechanic said the shift selenoid was stuck on. After having the transmission swapped out the same codes came back and the car started acting the same way (hard shift into reverse and not shifting past third gear). My mechanic cleared the codes and it ran perfect for about 150 miles, then the same problem came back. We have cleared the codes again since. We are going to try to reflash the pcm to see what happens. I think it is safe to say it is something else than the transmission causing this problem. My question to you all is have you heard of the TCM storing codes and making the car act the same way after a repair? is reflashing the TCM a good route? From what I have read it could be an output speed sensor or may be the alternator interfering with sensor signals. Any help would be much appreciated! I can get the codes if need be. -
I have a 2008 Milan with the 2.3L Duratec and the FNR5 automatic. Lately, on a backroad near my house, I came to a complete stop, and drove off with the shifter in the "L" gate. According the to the manual, the L gate holds gears until higher RPMs, and leaves the torque converter locked during deceleration to make use of engine braking. That's exactly what it did, but I was under the impression that it would shift after a certain point. The needle on the tach reached 6700rpm, and I was still in 1st. In another instance, I was climbing a hill in 2nd, and shifted into L. As expected, it held 2nd until I shifted back into D, at which point the tach was at 5800 revs and I was going 55mph. My question is, Is it supposed to just hold whatever gear you're in when in L, or is it supposed to upshift? It kind of got me thinking that maybe this is just a disabled version of the SelectShift gates that became available in the 2010 V6 models. If so, is it possible to add a SelectShift-type apparatus to the FNR5?
