Recently learned my transmission fluid filler tube has rusted out, seems the ear off it to the eng has rusted free, so it swings around loose and is hard to find unless you reach in the back and move it back into pos. I have a new one ready to go in this week, however today the Overdrive light on the shifter handle was flashing.
Apparently it means a code has been thrown, didn't look at the ODB yet, and no real issues I can tell in shifting at all but watched these videos:
I read maybe dirt or rust can enter the tube if its got holes in it from rust, that I don't know but I am hoping the filter would catch the few particles that enter and if it was severe there would have been shifting issues by now but I don't feel any at all.
I plan to get a fluid and filter change soon anyhow just in case, but was curious what this wiring short can do....could it really fool the torque converter thru a solenoid or sensor and cause issues?
