P0700 trans code stopped moving...

[Tozan]

Well I think my trans finally went. .
Was highway driving 65 mph trans started jerking and went into 4 gear. Drove for another 4 miles to exit. Eng temp went to 250 trans temp also 250 coolant temp was 210 after I stopped it didnt want to take off again. Waited a few minutes and it started moving enough to get in a parking lot. Code reader said P0700. Tried to clear it but it doesn't clear. Trans level is ok. Things feel hot but it is 105 degrees here today.

So two questions to start.
1. Does it sound terminal?
2. Best place to get it fixed? Dealership aamco or indipendant shop?

Btw I am in Phoenix and 80 miles from home.. And I really don't want to fix it myself.

pure speculation but if you do not find any metal in the fluid you could maybe get lucky and replace the tchcm (techem) do a relearn and drive.
they run about $500.00

Is that the trans computer

ya it's a whole module with the solenoids and computer in it, it can be taken out without dropping the transmission.

Is that the only code?

Curious about the overheating part of it. In my mind a transmission failure shouldn't cause it to overheat, but an overheat could cause the trans to fail maybe? Like a chicken and egg situation.

Curious if you have trans and coolant mixing

That blows dude! Sorry!

I checked the trans oil and it looked pretty clean no metal or water.
The Trans shop will be looking it over on Monday and we will figure out what to do with it then. I was thinking about having them do a rear main seal while they have it out too.
