My post was probably a bit vague, but yourself you would be happy with the possibility to replace the TCM at a cost of a part that looks like it’s £1000 with the possibility that’s it’s not the and actually the transmission, I’m no expert by far and my knowledge of automatic transmissions is probably zero! but as far as fault finding is concerned it worry’s me this is the comment of a moderator and people are actually liking and loving it! Is there an award for most likes in a day or something?
 
I’m probably need to ask separate questions and throw them out there but I thought I would just put my problem out there and hopefully I may get a good few pointers or past issues
 
 

Due to the need to reprogram the TCM, this is not a DIY job.  You don't have the tools, nor are they cost effective to purchase and then DIY this repair.  Have a mechanic do it, or trade it in and get a newer vehicle.  Those are basically your two viable options.
 
Edit:
 
To be much more clear: you NEED a StarScan tool to complete the job.  It cannot be done without one.  That tool, on EBay, will run you nearly $2,000.  That doesn't include access to a data source for the firmware that will be loaded on the TCM.  In the US, there is also a legal requirement to physically document on the vehicle the date and mileage at the change whenever the TCM is changed because the odometer will no longer necessarily be accurate.
 
So, really, you can't do this repair at home.  It won't work.
