Hi i just got a p0741 code the car shifts fine i was wondering if this transmission is sealed or I can change the fluid? another question is where is the torque converter clutch solenoid located at? thanks

 

Code of death...transmission has an internal hydraulic fault with the torque converter circuit. Put a transmission in it...

 

the car drive fine tho

 

perhaps a sensor is unplugged or has gone bad?

 

thats what im thinking do you guys know where the torque converter solenoid at?

 

In my experience even when the car runs fine, The P0741 is rarely very very RARELY an actual issue with the Torque Converter Solenoid....
I would say 99% of the times its the telltale sign of the impending doom (Transmission Dies).

 

I was hoping it was the solenoid that goes bad. =(

 

did you managed to get this fixed? I’m thinking of doing a flush mines is slightly overfilled but I’m getting this code.

 

I tried flushing, and changing out the solenoid both didnt work and at the end I have to go to the expensive route which is changing out the transmission.

 

ok I will just wait till it blows then(had one blow on my civic b4 due to a sensor popping out) as of the solenoid where is it located? I know for our model 03-06 mdx it doesn’t have the solenoids accessible. It’s under the two tube piece and I have one tube piece. Idk which one is what so I’m not doing anything there. I will try to see if my obd2 can do tcc diagnostics if it’s engaging ima just let it be. Seen people drive 80k miles with this code n seen people only drive 100 miles. Odd. Anything anybody can offer me to do b4 I change it.

 

how much they charge you for a new transmission? And please tell me Yu got it rebuild
