Code 63 and Code 67
So i started driving my car the other day, it was raining pretty hard. All of a sudden my car just stopped shifting correctly, and the overdrive light came on and started flashing. I had my transmission rebuilt 2 years ago. I took it back to the shop and he said it probably wasnt the transmission but electrical and said it could be a speed sensor or the wiring harness he pulled codes 63 and 67. When driving the car it shifts beautifully but about a half hour of driving it starts shifting when it shouldnt. Any ideas? Thanks
I would have a look under the car and check the wiring and plug/sockets to the transmission, perhaps water has got into them or damaged them.
63 - Open or short circuit in no. 2 solenoid valve
67 - OD direct clutch speed sensor signal malfunction
Also, I re-searched a lot and found this tutorial if you want to do it yourself...GOOD LUCK

But then that next winter it started shifting improperly. Sometimes when driving away from a stop the tran would shift from first right to fourth, I think, which would immediately kill the motor. I could avoid it by shiftng up manualy. My mecahnic and I did the trans flush thing two quarts at a time, and before refilling the last two quarts, I took the pan off, and took out the solenoids which were easily accessible. I checked each for electrical operation and cleaned them. I also unplugged a connction to the trans which you will find outside the trans on the passenger side, cleaned it a little and reconnected it.
After this shifting was back to normal. Maybe the deep water disturbed that connection, or maybe one of the vehicle speed sensors (cruise and speedo), or both, I don't know.The solenoids all seemed to work fine. Shifts fine now without replacing anything but fluid.
