Re: Check Engine light and Transmission Problems Posted by Ari [Email] ![]() ![]() In Reply to: Check Engine light and Transmission Problems, Doug ![]() |
Instead of the dealer, try a good transmission shop. Ask if they have worked on ZF transmissions before.
Most dealers treat the transmission like a light bulb - replace it if it goes bad. Some dealers *may* troubleshoot the transmission - you can always ask. But a good transmission shop is your best bet. Early shifting is usually a sign of bad govenor seals, and having a hard time getting into reverse may be a sign of a broken spring in the valve body (control module).
As to the check engine light coming on because of the transmission, I tend to doubt it. There is very little communication between the engine and transmission. It sounds like you should be looking for guidance someplace other than your present mechanic.
good luck!
