[R129 SL] TRANSMISSION

[Jonathan Hodgman]

Ah, I thought you were stating your transmission was having issues IYO.

That aside, ETA has quite likely died as stated prior, I'm surprised you
don't have a CEL..I'll wager there are codes stored in the system though.

Has your harness been repalced?  If not I'd plan on getting one alone w/
your new (reman) ETA.
