I bet you could get a lot of input from this site if you just explained what exactly the symptoms were.

What he said!

Tell us what problems you are having with the VX (one by one) and what you did to try to fix them, and we'll try to help out.

Did anyone suggest that you replace the mode switch and then adjust/clean the shift mechanism or the auto trans shifter lever?

When the truck is in gear do you notice the dashboard shift lights D, 3rd, 2nd, etc. flashing, or sometimes showing the wrong gear?


Any of you mechanical minded VX guys near where she lives?

About 2 weeks out of every month when going from 2nd to 3rd it shifts REAL hard (makes a pretty annyoing clunk sound). Pretty scary. And for the last few months it now does it going down from 4th to 3rd. Now, I have read many posts on this, but have tried many things that were said to do...VX is still doin' it and as the months progress it seems to worsen. But as I said, it only happens about 2 weeks out of each month.

Well, the hard 2/3 shift SCREAMS mode switch to me. Next time it does that to you, try pulling over, turning it off, and shifting from P to 1 a couple times before restarting. After you start and shift to D, keep an eye on the dashboard indicators. You only get 5 seconds to see this, then the computer defaults to D. If they show the wrong gear (eg, you're in D but it is showing R), that's another hint that it's the mode switch. This problem drops codes, too. Has anyone pulled codes from it?

I've got an OBDII reader and experience with the mode switch. Maybe HERE's another reason to get all the CO VXers together...
