Sounds like the fan control temp sensor is faulty.
As far as the transmission problem, I'm not sure what you mean. Can you be more specific?

In regard to the transmission problem the following statements are the steps;
- The car run perfect.
- Sometimes after running perfect start with shifting problem.
- I'm turn off the car.
- Wait 5 sec.
- I'm turn on the car.
- The car start running and in the first shifting change very hard
- Then the car continue running perfect.
This sounds very strange but its happened. I will appreciate your comments.

Thank you and best regards

Temp sensor is on the thermostat housing. the thermostat housing is on the motor where the upper radiator hose attaches.
On your transmission problem. What you need to do is locate a shop or dealership that can "scan" your transmission control module. If you can find out the memory code is, and what it says, we can go from there.
