I can't find an appropriate newsgroup for this, but this is an 'OT' newsgroup, with smart mechanics.
I've got a 2013 Mazda CX-9, with 128K miles. It runs perfectly, but the check engine light has been on solid for many months. I had it diagnosed and it's throwing two codes, both related to the transmission. But, the transmission is working fine. No bumps, thumps, lags, etc...it's like new.
The codes are:
P0730 - Incorrect Gear Ratio P0977 - Shift Solenoid "B" Control Circuit High
My Mazda dealer tells me I have to replace the transmission...$9,000.
Anyone familiar with the codes, and if there is anything other than replacing the tranny will do?
Even though the codes do not relate to emissions, the state will not pass the car for it's annual registration.
Thanks.
