I'm getting an manfacurer control transmission error.
What is this? I can't find it in my Haynes manual or online. My traction control light sometimes flashes for know reason, and the tranny clunk sometimes when slowing down and then I step on the gas(the clunk come during the acceleration).
Thanks Craig

I would say as a possible repar is a Tranny flush not drain and fill. By machine that gets 100% fluid replacement, may flush, solinoid that may be sticking, may fix it if not a tranny rebuild is next, do not drop the pan, or change the filter! The clunk could be from the inboard cv joints, but if the clutch, or converter is the problem, fix it first!
