Hi rockinrakesh,

Did you replace with a rebuilt or used unit?

Sometimes replacement trans needs some time to run in before they work properly especially if the replaced trans had been left lying around for a long time.

Did the D4 light blinks while driving? Are the symptoms exactly the same as before replacement or were there any significant differences?

This Transmisson is being fully rebuilt by myself. No blinking on D4. i do not see anything wrong with the tranny. I suspect the Computer.

Hi rockinrakesh,

Was there any significant difference before and after rebuilt?

I believe the solenoids are more likey to be the cause. PCM would cause errsatic changes but seldom harsh shifts.

There are no codes and the solenoids are working correctly but there is a possibility of retarded solenoid valve movement and internal leakages.
