GOT2B GM Posted March 27, 2007 Report Posted March 27, 2007 So I figure the "A" shift solenoid is sticking. I still have TCC lockup in 3rd. It won't manually downshift to first either. I'm gonna take it in and have it put on the computer at the trans shop tomorrow. WTF. If I had the time I have a complete 284 setup, but I need my car for work everyday. Any input on the trans problem? Quote
Crazy K Posted March 27, 2007 Report Posted March 27, 2007 I seem to have erratic shift failures on my 95..... solved each time by cyling the ignition. inspect and dielectric grease the tranny plug and see if it makes a difference. Quote
GOT2B GM Posted March 27, 2007 Author Report Posted March 27, 2007 I'm guessing its his Z34 Correct Its at the transmission shop now, could be a VSS, VSS harness, or shift solenoid. Fuck it, I don't have the time or patience right now, so they can fix it. Now I have to find a way to work tomorrow....... Quote
joey b Posted March 27, 2007 Report Posted March 27, 2007 my sis's 96 had the same problem. For some reason there was no signal for 1st or 4th gear from the ECU. The wires were damaged. Quote
GOT2B GM Posted March 27, 2007 Author Report Posted March 27, 2007 the trans mechanic mentioned that also. Quote
GOT2B GM Posted March 29, 2007 Author Report Posted March 29, 2007 They replaced the VSS and it didn't fix it............. Quote
Brian P Posted March 29, 2007 Report Posted March 29, 2007 WTF the VSS??!?! They had it apart and were 1 solenoid off!! Aw man I'd be livid. Quote
Brian P Posted March 29, 2007 Report Posted March 29, 2007 ^ Especially since you HAD lockup in 3rd too.... Quote
Crazy K Posted March 29, 2007 Report Posted March 29, 2007 ^ Especially since you HAD lockup in 3rd too.... wouldn't it be the case that if you had ANY shifting at all that the VSS would be fine??????? Quote
GOT2B GM Posted March 30, 2007 Author Report Posted March 30, 2007 Well, today they investigated further and discovered the harness going to the VSS was damaged, causing the ECM to enable a "limp mode". I don't exactly know how it all works, but it's fixed now. Quote
Brian P Posted March 30, 2007 Report Posted March 30, 2007 ahhhh right, I thought limp mode was 2nd gear only. I double checked my book and it's 2nd and 3rd. Wish I saw that earlier. ^ Especially since you HAD lockup in 3rd too.... wouldn't it be the case that if you had ANY shifting at all that the VSS would be fine??????? wow I just realized I mixed up VSS with TCC. LOL. Ok bedtime.... Quote
