Wondering in any one can help, I have a dodge journey 2.0 crd sxt auto 2009 in the UK .
my problem first started when starting the car in the morning and driving off in drive, the automatic gearbox wouldn't change out of first gear, stopping the car turning the ignition off and restarting again and the car would be fine no issues going through the gears, it would do this every morning. the engine management light was on also but not sure of error codes at this time, The car was due an MOT and a look into the issue.
The night before it was due to be looked at the situation got worse after pulling into a car park, the car wouldn't drive at all, even selecting reverse there is nothing the car would just rev up, putting into semi auto and trying to select the gears as soon as you put it in it would jump from 1st to 2nd, shifting the selector left and right would have no affect.
the car was recovered to a local garage and the engine management comes up with the following
P2849 Shift fork 1 stuck
P284B Shift fork 3 stuck
P1759 function select solenoid 2 control circuit performance
So my local garage have told me its most likely the transmission control module at around 1000-1500 and the worst case a gearbox at around £5000-£6000
I'm an electrician/auto on heavy construction equipment so willing to carry out work myself.
Any help is appreciated
