    Never heard of 'em. But anyone who claims "bulletproof" transmissions... I would run away. And anyone who claims to be able to "customize" an Aisin transmission. Perhaps yes, for some older american made transmissions. But not for the Aisin.

    Caveat Emptor.

    Similar issue to OP

    My car have a very similar issue to the OP. VB symptoms and neutral when higher RPM.
    I also scanned the car with schwaben tool and I got an error code p1682 related to throttle body. I am not sure if this is the reason why the car is going into limp mode (neutral) when throttle is high to prevent damage. I know I still have to deal with the VB but I am hoping that this issue is related only to VB and not any major complicatation in the transmission. Can someone tell me if they have any experience with this code and going into limp mode. I search for this code but I couldn't find definite info/answer about the problem.

    Welcome to M/A! :Thumbsup:

    Perhaps if you told us a bit about your car [model, year, stick or auto, etc.], help might come a running.:ihih:

    This is not a transmission problem. Throttle body codes will usually throw car into limp mode, both manual and automatic. Usually throttle body needs to be replaced to fix that code.
