I get this code in top gear. The car jolts slightly before the warning light comes on. It goes into limp in mode. It clears itself on restart and drives normally until the next time!!!! Any ideas please. I'm thinking it is a gummed up valve in the valve body?? Would a tranny flush help??? Thanks.

What to check next

Diagnostic guidance. Suggested checks and possible repairs are separate from the owner's reported results.

Treat the solenoid-pack repair as this owner's reported outcome. A recurrence or another vehicle with the same code needs application-specific diagnosis before choosing a repair.

hI there,
I am experiencing the same trouble code and jerking before the check engine light comes on. Where bouts did u fix it and how. My mechanic tells me that the gear box would need to be replaced and is quoting a price of approx $ 1500 to replace the gear box. $ 500 is a lot cheaper than $ 1500.
