So, I have an issue I need help with ASAP.
Jeep was giving issues with starting a while back and figured out it was the Transmission Range Sensor. Today, my buddy and I decided to try and replace it, and should have been a fairly quick process. However, the process became long, and after unable to get the valve body out to replace the part, I said screw, and we put her back together. I poured in 6 quarts of Valvoline ATF +4 and started her up (was weird because she cranks on every attempt now, intermittent start issue is gone). I cycled through the gears and back in to park.
NOW I have an even LARGER issue. I can put her in to reverse just fine and go (backwards). If I drop her in to Drive, she does nothing. I can press the gas and at around 2000 RPMs, she lurches forward a little bit, but it feels like something is locked up, because if I hold down the gas or give her more and try to go, it shutters and moves very slowly forward.
I ran the diagnostics from my Bully Dog Tuner, and got the following
P1790 - Unkown DTC
P0731 - Gear 1 Incorrect Ratio
P0841 - Transmission Fluid Pressure/Sensor A Circuit Range/Performance
I have scoured the internet trying to find the answer, but can't seem to come up with one at all. I would like to know if I can fix it myself, or need to take it in. And if the later, a rough estimate of how much it would cost (best to worst case scenarios).
Thanks for the help!!!
Oh, I should add, though I feel I may not need to, BUT, it is an Automatic. 2008 JK.
Addition: After trying to go forward and I stop, I can smell a burning smell.
