Hey guys i recently bought a 08 evo x mr from a guy on craigslist it was in a previous accident and partially repaired after many long hours of doing extensive body work the body is done originally bought it with no key and had one programed now it runs but i cant put it in any gear the lever is stuck in park if i manually unlock it still nothing what could it be im running out of ideas it has a c.e.l light on abs and brake light i ran the codes and came up with P1870, P1836, P1844, P1871, P2733, U0100, U0121 im completely lost as in what to do next anyone have any advice ??? Thanks in advance

 

Did the car have all those problems before you bought it? Essentially I think one of the solenoids has failed in the tranny. If its under warranty, get it fixed otherwise it's going to be pretty expensive to get it rebuilt (if possible) or you'll need a new tranny. You're looking at a minimum $8-10k set back if you can't get it warrantied.

 

Ouch, did the guy you bought it from say that everything worked?

 

You bought a car on craigslist that didnt come with a key?

 

well Im almost positive it has a good tranny the car was wrecked and it was a never finished project i finally got it going... and all i have to do is figure out how to make this tranny work now i have realized im missing something on the right side near the glove box it seems to use 2 connectors possibly some type of module ? is their a tcu? or any module possibly from the transfer case the car has only 9k miles and i dought it would fail due to the accident....

 

Yeah, that might be an issue.

 

are you pulling up on the park release? (gray plastic around shifter)

 

yea i tried everything i manually unlocked the shifter too and nothing it goes into drive but the car goes nowhere at all it seems as if it has no communication with the tranny

Apparently 3 of those codes could be from forgetting to reset the ECU after flashing.

 

hmmm does anyone know if their is a tranny module ? or transfer case ? or is everything controlled by the ecu ? also i tried deleting the codes threw my pocket scanner and they didnt delete even though it said erase successful could it be that it needs a more advanced mitsu scanner ?
