Automatic transmission wont shift 2001 saturn receiving codes P0753 P0758 & P1860

SOURCE: triptronic transmission will not shift into gear

Sounds like the electronic selector module, it should have a emergency release on the top or side, it a little hole that a pen will fit in, this will allow the shift to move in to gear, see how you get on. This will get the car in to R & D, but it may be in, get U home mode then it will need changing.

The clonk sounds like you have a loose nut on the mainshaft of your transmission, I don't have an article on it yet, but for now you can also check these 2:

I will have an article on how to tighten the mainaxle nut shortly

The dipstick is behind the battery, below the master brake cylinder and is not the clutch reservoir. It has a red flip top handle instead of a ring like most dipsticks. It was hard for me to find due to engine grease. I had the same problem and was able to see that I was low on fluid (only a little) and adding fluid helped the problem.

Your valve body and possibly input shaft nut need to be replaced. The valve body's booster valve is worn down and won't create pressure. Before it went completely out it slammed on the input shaft nut and loosened it.

You need to replace the valve body and retorque the input shaft nut. The transmission is not junk. The above needs to be replaced and change the filter and fluid and do it every 20K miles.
