What owners wrote
A piece broke off and had fallen off of transmission when stopped at a redlight when put in gear car didn't want to move had to manually shift to get off the road and towed it home. The piece that broke fell into pan when changing transmission fluid. Believe it's off flywheel possibly forward band.
While sitting at a stop light the information panel said reduced engine power as the light turned green. I held up numerous cars as I scanned the OBD2 port to clear the code, once again the code read p0601. Cleared it and it started right up.
