I have been parked until I have the money for a good scan . Meanwhile I have tried to locate the problem. If I bump the MLPS i find that it can influence the trans/ towards the back I get no shifting towards the front I get intermittant holding in gear. Does this point to a bad sensor ar is that just the way this thing works? Dis connecting the batt does no good.

You should have no effect by "bumping" it unless you are using a large hammer. The original MLPS switches were vulnerable of collecting moisture and corroding. The MLPS lets the ECM know what position you have selected. If it cannot determine that, it will not be able to properly operate the trans. The currect sensors come with a new harness connector to be installed that will greatly reduce the chance moisture can get into the sensor.

Your transmission is a gonner.

unplug the connector on the PASSENGER's side
with it unplugged, you can shift 1-2-4 manually plus have reverse in R (hydraulic function only on E4)
warning: it will be at MAXIMUM line pressure, and will literally take your head off shifting at anything over 1/3 throttle
if it works like that, replace the MLPS
you're doing 'em too cheap

.....................................
Retire ???? never
But I like the people out there, especially the young folks...........no 'we want it now' attitude, they are serious, study hard, work just as hard
EVERYONE out there is down-to-earth
plus, of course the climate and seeing mountains every day
once more:
disconnect the main connector on the passenger's side of the case
if the unit is good inside, you will be able to shift it with the shift lever 1-2-4
that will tell you if it's internal or not
