    Last entry before I go to bed. It is an HOUR past my bed time which is 2PM EST. I wake up at 10:15 PM for my night shift.
    Progress? Hard to tell. I FINALLY can start the car, but no gears at all. ZERO. Just N. And with the key in ign., the SMG will not shift from S to D. That can be done in accessory position only. What a fracking mess.

    Tomorrow we will PULL the supposedly good GPS out and install the recent acquisition of a more likely working GPS.
    It came off a 75K LOW mileage car throwing no codes. So he says.

    Hey, it could be something totally different, BUT, I had a working SMG when we started. Diagnosis was an INTERMITTANTLY bad GPS. It would frap and go to default, 2,5 and 6. But I could still drive to work.
    A few days later the SMG would work PERFECTLY. All gears. It HAD to be the GPS.
    Maybe my guy made a mistake when he replaced the two detent springs. IDK. Need to check EVERY connection.

      I'm not sure what to say because you are all over the map but I will say this to others who run up on this thread.

      BEFORE starting work on the SMG system make sure you can read codes and run adaptations via INPA, DIS, ISTA, or a dedicated device.

        Well, at least you know now the pump has good pressure, and the slave cylinder/encoder work.
