What happens if I don’t replace a failing TCM?
Ignoring a failing TCM can lead to more severe issues. Continued harsh shifting can cause internal mechanical damage to your transmission, potentially leading to a much more expensive repair down the road. It can also leave you stranded if the vehicle gets permanently stuck in limp mode.
