Hello,
I hope someone can help me. I have a 98 civic that has been giving me the following problems. The speedometer works whenever it wants and the transmission tends to jump/slip sometimes, when I go in reverse and when I try to drive. Today i took it to a regular garage and they told me when they hooked it up to the machine it said "transmission control system malfuction Honda Part 0700" The chek engine light also recently went on.

Can anyone shed some light on this problem? What is causing this? Are the speedometer and the slip/jump related? What do i need to do to fix this? How much should the part cost and labor?

Thanks for your help in advance.

 

From what I understand there should be another code too. Basically what it appears is that the P0700 code only comes up when there is some other code detected for your automatic transmission.

Any AutoZone can scan your car for free and find out what the other code is.
