The car was jolting when it changes gear and then the AT OIL TEMP light turns on and then the Check Engine light too. I took it to AAMCO and a diagnostic code of P0122 came up. They replaced the Throttle Position Sensor. After a couple of months, it happened again. I took it back to AAMCO and they said the sensor went bad and replaced it again. After the sensor was replaced, the AT OIL TEMP light was still on. They traced the wiring and could not find a problem. They think its the computer going bad and to replace it that part, it will cost over $600.00. Is this a transmission problem or could it be the computer going bad?

Have them check the vehicle speed sensor this one inputs the governor pressure as read by the computer in turn it will operate the shifting solenoids-could possibly be the transmission control module-
