Transmission nightmare.

Hi, so long story short bought 160k miles 06 tl, with some transmission problems.. Wouldn't drive forward or back without acceleration, even with pressing gas it would take quite a little bit to get it going, I just bought another transmission and swapped it, buuut that didn't fix it, it still does the same thing, I tried cleaning and swapping all of the shift solenoids, checked the atf, checked the wires etc, I'm not sure what can I try next, is there tcm in this car or its together with ecm? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

​​​​​These codes don't go away, sometimes they switch from 10 codes to 6 but these are always present

Recap your work, make sure the trans. electric switches are connected correctly.
BTW, what type of transmission was put in the car? A rebuilt OEM, salvage yard OEM or an 06-07 Accord V6?
Good Luck!

I took it out of the wrecked acura tl, and all the wires connected the way they were before, I'm just bummed out by the codes being the same and I've changed the shift solenoids few times without any change in codes.
What could have I done wrong?

You should have put in an 06/07 Accord V6 Transmission instead https://acurazine.com/forums/second-...n-swap-905115/


Putting another potentially bad trans from a wrecked car isn't ideal

Are Hondas better or why should have I done that?

I know it's isn't ideal but a wrecked vehicle means it was driving unlike mine
Could it be something other than transmission? It does the same thing with either one of the transmissions

While a faulty pcm can’t be ruled out, I would first go back and thoroughly check the wiring harness, especially since multiple solenoids are flagging. Check for opens or shorts, bad connections, and loose/corroded/damaged pins.

I went to salvage yard and got one of the ecm from another 06 tl and had no change happen

did you check continuity of all the wires and resistance values were in check? Sounds like you have an open/short on the wire harness coming from the trans.
