Hi. I have Ford Focus 1.6 auto. Was a problem with a gear box. First one was faulty, so changed to secon d hand one. Once I change it it stops shiftin gears and the car jumps then I shift to drive or reverse. Fault codes was shift solenoids and pressure solenoid open circuit. I changed another gear box, the same problem, just faulty code is pressure solenoid open circuit.Could you tell me where is a pressure solenoid based or could it be ECU fault?

1999 Audi A6 Quattro Tiptronic 2.8. Started giving gearbox problems a few months ago. Up to 3rd gear is fine, get stuck in 4th gear that the PRNDS lights up. Switch car off and on to resent and fine again. The altrnator was replaced a few months ago. While on the floor at the garage they damaged the starter and sollenoid as well. I had to replace. The car would not start and we had to reset the alarm system.... Is this a real gearbox problem, or only a code that needs to be reset/ECU divise that is giving me problems? Any advise please.

You have to update the program to adapt with the new gearbox, by visiting the nearest agency or specialized workshop.

Sounds like you need to cover basics first. The battery cables are clean and tight? Are all the wires in the battery cable at the battery making a good connection? Sounds like a common problem and is in the service bullitins is that the ground wire attached to the battery cable end that goes to the body and then to the transmission case bolt has failed to provide a good ground and the acuators and servos and even the switches have'nt a good path to ground ( their is one but it's though other controllers and the power isn't strongly grounded. I f you were following a dianostic tree of good and bad the ground is the number one cause of your problem. Don't fix the old grounds just add new ones. and then clear codes and test it again. Oil leaks near the transmission to engine connection were found by me everytime that I was assigned to this set of problems. Ground corrected and the car was fixed.
