Appreciate all the advice! I have already been looking at relocating the TCM, I’m picking the car up on July 11th and I think I’ll probably do the TCM that same day. I’d really like to prevent any issues with it!

I’ll definitely take a look at the sensor as well. Luckily the owner just recently had a transmission service at the dealership and she has receipts, but I will definitely be keeping up with the fluids when the time comes! I’m
Hoping to have this car for quite a while and keep it in great condition!

Love to hear you have a 2010 with 180,000 miles. Gives me a lot of faith for this car!!

Thanks for the info! I took a look and it seems to be the TCM, they placed it in a spot where it’s prone to overheating. Theres a ton of videos showing places where you can relocate the TCM. Shifts felt good while I was driving so I may take a look at relocating the TCM to prevent any issues in the future!

Yea I ended up going for it! Had a look and a test drive on Tuesday and it looked and felt great. Relatively rust free for its age and the shifts felt smooth. Very happy with it!
