Re: Code: Incorrect Gear Ratio?
Mine is a 1995 850 GLT wagon. Since I first posted my problem, the flashing arrow and light are still there and the green economy light still blinks. However, the car continues to run better than it ever did before the problem started and I changed the computer. I can still change the fluid if youn ...

Re: Code: Incorrect Gear Ratio?
I don't understand 90% of what you wrote, but now that you have my update, you can respond as if I don't know anything about this car, not to mention cars in general. I'm about as knowledgeable as the little old man or lady who knows only where the gas goes, and barely that, which I almost am.

Re: Code: Incorrect Gear Ratio?
This is a 1995 850 GLT wagon. With only 125,000 miles on it. To bring you guys up to date: For some reason I don't remember, I decided to replace the computer module with one I had in the garage, thinking it might fix the problem. Well, Incorrect Gear Ratio did, indeed, disappear, but in its place V...

Re: Code: Incorrect Gear Ratio?
I got a lot of responses to my initial post, but now that I've done what was suggested and more, and the problem persists or is worse, I'm not getting any responses. You guys are leaving me hanging. Turns out the car is NOT in limp mode, as was suggested; turns out also that I put in the wrong compu...

Re: Code: Incorrect Gear Ratio?
This is squeaky 3 again. I forgot to tell you that I took the car to A+ Transmission. They were going to change the transmission oil. They dumped the old oil, showed me it was black, and said it smelled burnt. They said that means the clutches are worn down and that if they replaced the oil with new...

Re: Code: Incorrect Gear Ratio?
This is to update all who kindly responded to my INCORRECT GEAR RATIO problem: Everything I was advised to do except changing the fluid I did, making no difference. I took the car tio Eagle transmission, which after keeping it 4 hours, called to tell me they couldn't read the code or communicate wit...

Re: Code: Incorrect Gear Ratio?
I followed your advice about rolling the shifter (but I had to start the engine first to get it out of park, put it in gear, then turn it off). The gears shifted fine, but the light came back on anyway. So I guess the next most conservative step is changing the fluid. I don't know if, because I'm ha...

Re: More junkyard finds
Was there a 95 (94-97) 850 in the yard? I need the center brass hinge for the front passenger door. (There are two stationary hinges that hold the door on and the one I need, which allows you to open/close the door midway. Can you get that, and for how much?
