Hi was wondering if anyone out there has experianced any issues like mine. I replaced the trans about six months ago everything was fine until about a month ago i go to leave work and my trans is slipping keep in mind it had been fine for 5 months. I limp it home thinking great need to replace trans again. Well i pulled codes and it was p0700 and all the p0730 somthings to do with wrong gear ratio. I cleared codes let it sit couple hours then it worked fine again so since the fluid looked and smelled a little burned i changed filters and fluid. All was fine again till a month later then happens again this time its not coming out of it. So i realy dont know what to do now i can get a trans from a 2007 just not shure if the electronics will work with my 06 any input would be great. Thanks

Thanks for the info i will look a little deeper before i tear the trans out. Also if anyone knows if that 2007 trans would work in my 06 that would be good to know i can get it at a good price.

They should swap without issue, the only concern I would have is with the PCM controlling it. I don't know if the 06 will have communication issues with the 04.

06 is Can Bus, and 04 is not. It might not work.

For the most part the RFE's are interchangeable back and forth, I think there was a change to the connector on the solenoid pack but I can't remember what year that was. To the OP, when you replaced the trans, did you do it or a shop? Was a quick learn performed afterwards before driving it around?
