I disconneted the batery overnight still didn't clear, What is the recommended fluid for a 604?? >>>>> UPDATE>>>> Had the trans scanned for codes. Three codes, one is "gear ratio error".

I think they would be the modern equivilant of carrying a spare ballest resistor in your glove box on our old cars. But I don't yet have spare speed sensors in the glove box for my 300m. My bad.

Most auto parts stores can scan it too but don't think they can clear the codes. Now in 92 I thought that was OBDI, The computer does not control the transmission does it? I think that is all hydro controlled.
