Mistyped, meant 3000 oops 😂

being a tap shift, you need to find another tap shift tranny, or get yours rebuilt, they are a rare tranny, so finding a good used one is not easy.
Did you get yours rebuilt or sell the car? A sprag clutch shouldn't cause this issue from what I've seen. I'm thinking mine's a PCM issue since the solenoids all check out fine. I pulled it to check the model number to see about a replacement and I found a thick black wire with a white stripe was stripped and part of it exposed where the harness goes into the air box. I'm gonna patch it and and try and figure out what it grounds. The air box had a mouse nest inside it from sitting for a while so I'm not sure if it's from that or from when I pulled it to clean it. The issue def started sometime after I cleaned the air box so who knows

If I swap the PCM do I have to try and find one with all the exact same numbers? I found a guy who sells them flashed but the model number isn't the exact same even though its a 2004
