It will drive normally but once you try to hit the gas to downshift the transmission slips?

When I finally got home it displayed message transmission overheating, stop slowly. I scanned it and had many codes, deleted them and then rescanned without driving it I got the 2 codes showing.
P0805-00-AF
P286F-00-EC
P2872-00-AF
P0805
P286F
P2872
P0809-00-28
After deleting I got P0805.

So, what happens is the clutch actuators stop working or the clutch fails.


P0805 is related to the Clutch Position Sensor Circuit,

P286F suggests a problem with the Clutch 'A' 'Stay Engaged' Command,

P2872 is associated with Clutch 'A' Stuck Engaged

P0809 represents a Clutch Position Sensor Circuit Intermittent fault,

Here is how to change the clutch actuators out, these cars had a big problem with them. Check out the images (below). Please let us know how it goes.

So, my understanding is that it has 2 actuators? One from top the other from bottom. I want to switch the one with the code first to see if it does anything. The code that was left alone is for which one? One on top?

The p0805 is for the one on transmission under the airbox?
