I found alot of fluid in it and since the connector was only $8.00 at Germanparts.com, I went ahead and purchased it. After I replaced it, I still had the same problem. So I did some more investigating. I went to locate the TCM (transmission control module). It is under the hood inside a black box with a yellow sticker that said Battery in trunk. As soon as I removed the harness to the left of the module, I notice ATF at the connector. I then removed the module out of the box and laid if upside down on a white sheet of paper. I had so much ATF coming from the module I said ":P I can't believe it's not butter" I cleaned the board out with electric spray and let it dry overnight. I have some pictures for you all. In a few days I'll let you know if the problem is fixed.
Best regards,
Max

jvmaxime,

I had at least 3 ounces of fluid in the ECM box! I'm surprised there wasn't any tripped transmission codes.

I followed your lead and got the electronic cleaner and did a very extensive job on cleaning it until the cleaner was no longer pink. What a mess. Also drilled a couple of 1/8 in holes in the bottom at each end.

Thanks for your help, much appreciate. If you are ever in the area, the drinks are on me.
