Thank you so much for your reply. I was wondering, why does the van run ok (apart from no passing gear) with the wire that runs into the forward right side of the transmission disconnected? Is that some sort of sensor? Could it be causing the tcc to stick? I just want to be sure before going ahead with the replacement of the tcc solenoid as it looks like an expensive job timewise.
