Out of the blue, last night I needed to run to town so I started the car and tried the trans to see if it was still acting up and for whatever reason, it wasn't. It didn't drive like it should as it hit gears firm in Econo mode and revved higher than it normally would. I was afraid to move the selector from "D" so I just ran my errand and came back home. It started acting strange on the way back home so I shot a quick video before it decided to go limp again, which it didn't do, but I can't trust it. The 100.1 will take care of it anyway, but if I had a completely dead 3 plug TCU, I'd tear it apart. All I have is 2 prong 2g models. It has good looking fluid in it and no smell so I don't suspect anything mechanical, here is the short video of how it was shifting in Econo mode, since it decided to work.....kinda...Thanks all for any thoughts.
