When the O/D light is flashing does the computer always throw a code? I took my car to a shop (Langford Transmissions in Sugar Land) today and they said that there was no code because it is a mechanical problem and mechanical problems don't have codes. They told me that the torque converter is probably shot and that they would also probably need to rebuild the tranny (about $1650 total parts & labor
).
Then I called Transmissions Only in Katy and talked to Bruce and he said that based on the problems I described to him that it's probably the lockup solenoid. He also said that I should take the car to him and he'd look at it for free.
What should I do? I am not in the best financial situation right now, and if I had to pay the $1650 I could only do it on a credit card.
Here is a brief description of the problems I'm having:
The car vibrates badly while in gear and when I try to take off the tranny feels like it is slipping/spinning.
I really need to get this solved asap, any help/info would be appreciated.
