Exclamation Eclipse won't go past 20mph starts reving but doesn't move past 20MPH

So I was driving home and almost home, made a right turn and my Eclipse won't go when I press the gas. I turn on the hazards, turn the car off and on real quick and it goes to 20mph but it won't pass 20mph it starts reving but doesn't move past 20MPH.

I was googling around and saw some guy had this problem with his 98 GSX
Code:

and it was the wiring on the transmission was bad he said last post.


My reverse works fine, it idles normally, I was doing a couple pulls and all seemed good and was on my way home.

Could it be in limp mode or something? Feels like it's in neutral after 20 it just revs and no more speed. I feel like it could be the torque converter but I just need some one experienced to confirm.

Then now it won't go past 20. I am trying to be positive and get it resolved as quickly as possible any idea's / advice is much appreciated.

The tranny oil is full, engine oil full, I don't see a transmission fuse my Dad was asking if there is one for our vehicles?

Anyways here are the CEL's codes:

Please any help is much appreciated.

Mitsu codes

P0700 Transmission Control System Malfunction
P0732 Gear 2 Incorrect ratio



I cannot help more than giving code interpretation.

Thanks for the reply I appreciate it.

I looked up the codes as well and that's all I could get too. I've been reading online and some say it's the torque converter that's the problem and it's weak in our cars and most likely, never been changed since it was off the factory.

It's a 98 Eclipse RS btw
