It will only clear the codes. You need STAR. Perhaps there is someone in your area who can help.

Did you bend/break the pins on the conductor plate when putting in the trans connector socket? I've seen this happen before

I made sure to mark the connector while having it connected to the old one to know which way it's supposed to sit.. went right in!


Went to a buddy's shop and reset everything with a snap-on solus.

I've never felt the car shift so damn smooth!!

Thanks for all of the help guys!

Phew! I hate that feeling when you change something and suddenly it feels like you just everything went wrong for no reason.
