Check the gearshift linkage adjustment.
Gear ratio DTC's can be set by problems in the input and output speed sensor
circuits. If the vehicle passes the clutch test and still sets gear ratio DTC('s), check
the Speed Sensors for proper operation.
Check the speed sensor wiring and connectors for good connection, then perform a
wiggle test using the Transmission Simulator (Miller tool # 8333) and FWD adapter
kit (Miller tool # 8333-1).
This DTC can also be set under extreme temperature conditions, this is usually
caused by an internal problem. Ask the customer if the problem is only experienced
under extreme hot or cold conditions.
