Gearbox issues
Hi guys, I'm posting on behalf of a another Tyresmoke member who has just suffered gearbox problems
He said he had been driving quite hard, had a thermostat warning come up on the dashboard, then when he stopped the gearbox went into limp mode (all lights on) and his catalytic convertor light came on.
He has pulled the following three codes:
1) 17114
2) 18157
3) 17087
Any suggestions?
The car is a 1997 4.2, 5 Speed Auto with 133,000 miles on it.

Re: Gearbox issues
My car (98) went into limp mode 2 weeks ago, after having the tranny rebuilt only 3 months ago by a local shop ($5000). It's still at the shop, as soon as I get it back I will get rid of it.
