I got home Friday from work. I grabbed the necessary tools and some cardboard to lay on and began removing the old TRS. Got it off and cleaned up the shaft with sandpaper/wire brush (although it wasn't really that rusty). I put a thin coat of grease on the shaft to aid in a smooth installation and maybe prevent future rusting. Just as I crawled out from under to wait for the part to arrive, the Amazon truck pulls up. Perfect timing! LOL Less than 10 minutes later, I had the TRS installed and tested for proper start function in Park and Neutral. Took it for a test drive...

Unfortunately, the problem remains. :-(

I hooked my laptop back up and the P1702 code is gone. But there are no other codes, so ForScan thinks my tranny is just fine. Ugh!

This morning, my offer was accepted for a full set of 6 shift solenoids on eBay, so those will be here mid to late week. Also have a filter and gasket coming from Amazon, so guess what I will be doing Friday night?!

I hate transmission issues. Apparently transmission DTCs don't mean squat.
