P0895Shift Time Too Short

- How the car detects it
- Shift time is the duration of the speed transition from the old to the new ratio, measured from input and output speed. Gearbox modules adapt fill time and pressure to keep it in a calibrated window; the code sets when adaptation is at its limit and the time is still outside. No maker could be found using these generic codes; Saab's 1994 900 automatic monitored the same with its own code P1832, a window of 0.3 to 1.3 s and a limp program. P0895 means the shift completes faster than the window: clutch pressure too high or applied too early, giving a harsh shift.
