Automatic stuck in 3rd gear?


Recommended Posts

So I jumped off my moms 91 legacy. It's been sitting a few months. Transmission is previously rebuilt. Car started and it feels like you're starting in 3rd gear also the car has a ton of torque bind when turning at a slow speed. Is it a sensor in the transmission?

Did you check the TCU (Transmission computer) for codes?

 

I'm guessing the POWER light is flashing 16 times on startup. This is NOT the code, but tells you there IS a code stored in TCU.

And the bad news this may mean the trans is toast. 3rd gear is 'limp home' mode, but hopefully you just need to fix/replace a sensor.

 

And what does "So I jumped off my moms 91 legacy" mean?
