92 Talon Auto TSi AWD Turbo will go into reverse and will go forward in (presumably) first gear, but will not shift to any other gears. Works fine in reverse and 1st, but no shifting. My brother ((who was the owner before me)) Replaced the WHOLE tranny last summer and now this?! :nono: Can anyone tell me what it is or what to have a shop look for? Oh yeah i dont have a datalogger and i dont know Crap about car other then BASIC stuff LOL but any other help would be Awesome!
 
Are you sure its in first gear? You could be in third and your tranny could be in Limp mode. My car was like that when I bought it-turned out to be a fried TCU (transmission computer). It's located beside your gas pedal behind a little carpeted piece. Sorta behind the ecu and radio but further down. Take it out and take the case off and look at the board with a flashlight to see if you see any burnt spots or leaking electronics. I'm pretty sure this is your problem. The TCU is pretty hard to get out if you've never done it before. Prepare to say a few curse words and skin a few knuckles while standing on your head.
 
Yeah your right it was the computter! grrrrr Alotaa $$$$ and time its been in the shop for a week now and i should get it back tomorrow or tuesday, while it was in though i threw a bigger Throttlebody on so I cant wait to get it back! :thumb: :talon:
