Do you get indicator on dash and console of requested gear?

Also if so you should be able to confirm with scanner the "L" pins
Dash indicator shows drive, reverse, sport and manual modes. Whatever I put it into with the lever it registers. Just no movement.

Guy I bought it from says he was driving it home from work and the trans failsafe message came on. He just coasted to the side of the road.

He said there was nothing to indicate there was any issue with the transmission. No clunking into gears, hard shifting or missed gears. No weird noises or burnt trans fluid smells.

Odd thing is there was no trans failsafe mode lit when I picked it up. On my other one I got back in September it had trans failsafe mode lit up and I was limited to 4th gear only. That one was an easy fix though.

Anyway, I'm going to diagnose more with insta later as well as check fluid level. It's all dry underneath though. Not even any motor oil leaks. Weird..... that there are no leaks. Lol
