I wasn't getting any codes, just symptoms that told me the circuit of fluid was working fine when cold, but the solenoid wouldn't cut the fluid bypass to unlock the converter when warm. I removed it and tested all solenoids. I don't take cars to repair shops, so the was the next logical step unfortunately was to Replace with new OEM. And everything works awesome... for a few months. Now reverse works fine when cold, but won't engage solenoid to open fluid circuit to lock clutches for reverse... and this is an 08' so no mods are avail

My 08' obxt was having issues with my TCC lockup and i eventually diagnosed a bad solenoid. I replaced the VB with new OEM and reflashed the mem with a vagcom cable and ssm. Worked legit, car was driving wicked for 6 months and then no reverse when the wife was driving it last weekend. (Actually the reverse was getting weird and started taking a while to engage) It now works ok when cold... but we're not driving it. Car is at 287hp/335tq currently. I don't want to go 6spd since I sit in traffic ALOT... but I also don't want to be doing rebuilds annually either

Dave, I sent you an email this weekend and wanted to make sure you got it. My email starts with apexms@ Thank you - James
