Default Anyone have this problem??

I just got my car back from the tranny shop and they said that the transmission is not commanding max pressure from the EPC solenoid. Because of this I burned up some of the clutches after the tranny was only 3 months old. They also said that in park when the engine is revved that it is setting an epc circuit code.(They couldnt remember the #). Anyone have a clue as to what this is?? I have to baby the car until this gets figured out so that I dont burn up more clutches.

its inside the only other problem would be to the pcm becuse it controls the epc could be the plug or pins on the case connector

Is it possible that it is a tuning problem?

Well I had a tuner check it out, and they think it is the tranny. IT is flare shifting in the 2-3 shift. WTF? I am starting to get annoyed. I just want it to work

Maybe you should have the trans redone using a vac-mod kit instead of the epc. This will take care of your problem. No more epc issues! Good luck, Vince.
