Question Flashing amber arrow

The trany was rebuilt, about a week later the amber arrow began to flash and the speedometer does not work.
The trany work fine. I have reseted the amber light several times, have replaced the upper and lower speed sensors. And no help. Any suggestions? Thanks

What year and model car do you have? Was the trany rebuilt or replaced? What codes are you getting?

You need to check your codes at the obd-I port or obd-II port. Then post those.

Rumor has it that these transmissions do not being rebuilt. You may have to replace the trany.

If it drives good and is not acting like it's in "limp home mode" by preforming slow, don't worry about it unless you are going to try to get something out of it.

Hi,

The trany had a completed overhaul, back in 2005, and it performed
good until last year. Last year the reverse started to act. The shop opened and found the reverse drum was bad and that was the only part they replaced, the clutches were in excellent conditions and of course
the trany fluid was replaced.
