Description:

  • The fault code P0829 pertains to a problem with the 5-6 shift in the transmission. This code typically indicates an issue with the shifting mechanism or components related to the 5th and 6th gears in an automatic transmission or manual transmission system.

Possible Symptoms:

  • Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) or Check Engine Light illuminated

  • Delayed or harsh shifting between the 5th and 6th gears

  • Gear slipping or jumping between the 5th and 6th gears

  • Difficulty engaging or disengaging the 5th or 6th gear

  • Reduced acceleration or power in the 5th and 6th gears

Possible Causes:

  • Faulty transmission solenoids or valves related to the 5

  • 6 shift

  • Damaged or worn transmission gears or synchronizers for the 5th and 6th gears

  • Malfunctioning shift linkage or cables

  • Low transmission fluid level or contaminated fluid

  • Faulty transmission control module (TCM)

Related Parts:

  • Transmission Shift Sensor: Gear Shift Sensor communicates the position the gear shifted to. Problems lead to difficulty in shifting gears

Possible Solutions:

  • Inspect and replace any faulty transmission solenoids or valves associated with the 5

  • 6 shift

  • Repair or replace damaged or worn transmission gears or synchronizers for the 5th and 6th gears

  • Check and adjust the shift linkage or cables, and repair or replace if necessary

  • Ensure the transmission fluid is at the proper level and replace if contaminated

  • Test and replace the transmission control module (TCM) if it is determined to be faulty
