P076F — Gear 7 Incorrect Ratio

While in 7th gear, the ratio measured between input shaft speed and output shaft speed does not match the calibrated value for that gear. Either a clutch or band is slipping, the wrong gear actually engaged, or speed sensor data is wrong.

General code reference. Confirm the definition and diagnostic procedure for your vehicle's year, model and engine. A stored code alone does not identify a failed part.

Affected components

  • Clutch pack
  • Friction band
  • Speed sensors

Possible causes to check

These are possible checks, not a ranked diagnosis. Follow the vehicle manufacturer's test procedure before replacing parts.

  • Slipping clutch in 7th gear element
  • Wrong shift solenoid pattern engaging the wrong gear

Possible symptoms

  • Check engine or transmission warning light on
  • Harsh, delayed, or missing shifts
  • Possible limp mode (locked in one gear)
  • Slipping or shuddering during gear changes

Diagnostic notes

  • The malfunction indicator lamp may illuminate
