So it has been doing this for 6 years? Solution may just be new sensors that are listed. The issue may have started with just the trans code, but evolved over time as more things failed, but it wasnt scanned, so you wouldnt know it is simply a list that is growing over time. Try a ECT & Cam sensor. Have the codes cleared, just to see what comes back. The trans code could be bad sensor as well, but could also be the wiring to and from the PCM. The cam code could affect the trans, due to the fact the PCM needs to know what RPM the engine is turning, and it recieves all of that from the cam/crank sensors, and shifts and adjusts itself accordingly
