Re: 2002 LS Manual Transmission

Welcome to the forum!

I am not a transmission guy either, but am curious what you mean by the comment "throwing p0732 code...but no error codes."

According to the factory service manual, P0732 is "2nd gear error" and is typically caused by a fault with "SSA [Shift Solenoid A], SSB, SSC or internal parts."

The solenoid pack is a pretty common fault with this transmission, especially if the special additive was not installed. There is a recall for certain vehicles that did not come from the factory with the additive. It appears that recall just applied to the 2004 and 2005 model years. Maybe someone here can clarify if it also applied to earlier model years. The trick with the recall was that addition of the additive would not undo sticking solenoids. So if the recall was performed on a car that had just started to have solenoid issues, it would not fix the issues or necessarily prevent them from getting worse. If the dealer performing the recall was not able to determine the solenoids were starting to fail, they may install the additive and close the recall but the solenoids could still be a problem.
