P08295-6 Shift
- Generic OBD-II code · Powertrain
- Turns on the check-engine light
- Matters for the ITP
- Can trigger limp mode
- How the car detects it
- Shift codes check the gear change itself: the module compares the commanded change with the speed trace and flags a shift that takes too long, does not happen, flares or binds up two clutches. P0829 covers the change between 5th and 6th gear in either direction; J2012 placed it here because P0785 ff were already taken, between P0781 '1-2 Shift' to P0784 '4-5 Shift' and P07DA/P07DB for 6-7 and 7-8. No manufacturer document available to us uses it: Ford's Diesel summary checks shift completion without a gear-specific code (speed must drop by more than 30 rpm on an upshift, flare above 300 rpm), Ford's automatics feed the solenoid function codes and GM the clutch valve codes. It exists only on transmissions with at least six gears; MIL and trip count follow the manufacturer.
