2013 Transmission Issues

I have a 2013 Hino 268 with an Allisson 2200 RDS transmission.

It was recently having issues recognizing gears and gave the code SPN 2003 FMI 31 Address 3.

I replaced the TCM and harness which cleared the code and it seems to be recognizing gears correctly.

However, when you put the truck into any forward gear it seems as though the clutch engages momentarily, then slips back into neutral. At this point the gear indicator on the dash flashes. There are no codes present.

I've since replaced the internal wiring harness on the transmission, replaced the filters, and made sure it's at the correct fluid level. I've also cleaned all wiring connections between the Transmission, TCM, and ECM.

I've read that a bad NSBU switch could cause this, but was hoping for more input before I open the transmission up again.

Thanks for any insights!

If there are communication issues, it could be caused by water intrusion in the junction box, located in the firewall directly behind the air filter. In particular, the large connector to the lower left. The red and white twisted pairs at the top of the connector commonly gets water on them and they corrode.
