No, My TCU # was MD762042

thank you for this. I read it when you wrote it but I never replied. I swapped the solenoids for gears 1 & 2 but the non shifting issue was still present. I was going to sell the car but a friend told me the TCU's are sometimes the culprit of shifting issues in DSM's... Got one off Ebay and to...

thanks Marty > I wound up swapping the solenoids but sadly nothing changed... I was going to sell it but then heard from a friend that the TCU in these are semi known to produce shifting issues... I found one on Ebay, just swapped the TCU and we're back to normal operation. I wasn't putting too...

For those who care, the problem for me wasn't the gear solenoids, it was the TCU! I replaced gear solenoids 1 & 2 and problem still persisted. I ordered a used TCU off Ebay and were back to normal shifting and operation!!!

I went to go to work today and when going from Park into Reverse, it shifted or "slammed" into gear, much harder than usual. It "sounded like" someone hit a hammer on metal or something to be honest... I exited my driveway in reverse slowly and it seemed fine. I put it in Drive from Reverse...

that's located behind the radio unit, accessible from the passenger side (left leg area) panel, correct? TCU/ECU are in the same location basically, right?

holy shit there's a A/T fuse?! OMG, I hope this solves my Auto trans not shifting out of 1st gear problem I just posted about! I had no idea A/T had fuses for gear shifting.... FML lol

Thanks for the reply and tips!Q: if my water pump has stopped working, wouldn't the coolant not recirculate when the coolant fans turn on? I ask this because when Ive turned on the car and waited for it to get to temp, the top radiator hose is cold but gets hot once the fans come on which...
