I got a code 51 on my CEL. How do I fix that problem? Also my Trans work in park-reverse-neutral but when I put it in drive-2-Low my Trans feels like it's slipping plus my Trans shifter is loose.

I also replaced the TSP. The oil is fine with no leaks and doesn't smell burnt.

A code 51 can be a throttle position sensor or neutral switch. Is the vehicle running normally other than the trans slipping?
