if you dont have a datalogger to pick up the codes, this is one of the few times i would recommend taking it to a shop or the dealership. When the tranny is thrown into failsafe mode, the transmission control unit is throwing codes so you would need a datalogger or a diagnostic reader to be hooked up to the diagnostic port so pick up the codes. Once they are picked up, you can find out what exactly is wrong with the transmission by looking up the code numbers in a service manual.
