You got it. Easiest fix for a tranny problem ever. Mine has been unplugged for several years now.

It will cost you a little more Gas but not the 500 or so for the solenoid to be replaced!

I tried unplugging the TCC, but I still have the following issues.
Runs fine when in park, idles smooth, revs smooth. When you put it in gear it stutters and stumbles and is not driveable, it wants to die. Any ideas?

Re: 93 cavalier tranny problem??

It is stuck in the engaged position. Replacment is in order. You may try a fluid and filter change. The change in viscosity can sometimes get the TCC loose enough to disengage. Good Luck.
