I've spent time searching with no luck. Please help.
A friend has a 98 eclipse automatic. It started having issue a few months ago, where it would go into tranny limp mode, 2nd gear, and flashed codes relating to failed shift solenoids A B and i think C and a PO700, module communication thing.
He replaced the shift solenoid pack, got a little better, same problem, then they found chunks in the tranny, so had it rebuilt. They checked the relays and just bought a used TCM and basically 2 of the same codes came back. PO700 and PO750.
2600 dollars later, same problems.
So what he is wondering, is there any correlation between the ECM and TCM. Maybe a sensor on the motor that could be sending wrong signals? something that may not be setting off the ECM, but cause the TCM to read wrong? Because this is the 3rd shop to do work on it and almost everything has made a noticeable difference but nothing has completely solved the problem. Any ideas at all?
(This is his typing, I tried to fix it as best I could. I also put it into first person.)
Thanks
