AGAIN! How often/common does this occur? I just had this problem back in Nov 2012 and had these done to it new TCU , new valve body ,new filter , transmission fluid. I only put 1200 miles on it and today was on the freeway and the car just went in neutral so I pulled over, restarted the car and put it in drive but won't go past 3rd gear.

check around your throttle body if the rubber seal is maybe stuck or something.. happen to me and it went on limp mode, the butterfly was catching the rubber hose :/

Is it throwing a cel?

ES EF ED

I'll check the throttle body when I get back, no CEL.

Hulk

If no cel then it can be your tcu
When did you tune it?

you should connect the car to das and read the transmission fault code.

Could it be a bad IC pump, it's still the original pump.

Ronan Mc Cabe

I had a bad IC pump and it only shut down the SC, no limp mode.

Hulk

Correct and since the car will not get out of 3rd this is a trans issue
Like shardul said pull the codes from star might be your conductor plate

Thanks for all the replies everyone! Took it in today and they said they'll check it out and 'there won't be a charge if the problem is related to the work they did'

This is what they did when I took it in back in November 2012



Looking/reading some old threads, what happen to this fellow member is EXACTLY what happen to me last Sunday.

Could be time for a new transmission. Do you drive it hard?

ES EF ED

Don't drive it hard at all.

berti_00

Even if you drive it hard,.aren't these transmissions supposed to be.strong

Just heard back from the shop and they told me 'everything is pointing towards a bad transmission, were taking it to another specialist to get a 2nd opinion'. I'm not sure if I believe them or not.

ES EF ED

Now they just told me 'no codes are coming up'.
