changed out twice and started the same thing again ,the tranny seems
to be a good one(THE 3RD ONE ALL DOING THE SAME)I THINK I MAY HAVE

| Answer: | Sherron, Your problem does sound like a computer issue, but it may be more than just the tranny computer. The main computer (ECU) in the early Eclipses (Talons) had problems with them overheating and finally failing all together. A bad ECU may be a contributor to your problem. Pull your ECU out and inspected it for leaking capacitors and/or a fried circuit board. That may be your problem. The ECU is located behind your radio. Good luck! |
