 When the transmission was not functioning correctly, at least one of these events would occur: a) the vehicle would not downshift, it would remain stuck in high gear. b) the car would not shift into idle at stop, then it would stall. c) when the transmission would not up-shift, the car would be stuck in limp home mode (second gear?). d) padddles would not be functional. the proper operation would usually return after cycling the ignition several times in order to effect a re-set of the transmission system. before a reset actually took hold, the transmission would shift very hard and jolt onto drive or reverse.
