Hey Everyone-
I bought a new DSM, and it is stuck in 2nd gear. It Has no reverse and no matter what gear you select wheather it is D, 2, or L it will always start in 2nd and stay in second.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks
Pete

the trans is in failsafe, indicating the TCM has seen some type of malfunction (could be electrical, could be mechanical).
you need to start diagnosis by retrieving trouble codes from the trans computer.
note that the capacitors on both the ECM and the TCM are prone to leaking and failure of that unit.
