**TIME SENSITIVE**Desperately Need Help to diagnose Transmission issue with 2004 TSX.
So I know there’s a few posts on this subject but my symptoms are a little different. So first of all my car has just under 249,000 miles on it and my transmission is slipping in 1st and 2nd gear. For a little while now When my car went from 1st to 2nd gear it had a bit of a jolt. Then a couple days ago it started to slip and now I have a whine off and on and it is slipping like crazy when it’s whining. I can shift manually OK and if I start in second gear I seem to be fine. I have no CEL’s on But I hooked my code reader up to it And I have a temporary code of P0741. Here’s the kicker, I have to have this repaired and ready to drive 2000 miles on Friday. I can’t seem to find any parts that are called a torque converter clutch solenoid? Is that the right term? What are the chances that it’s something other than my transmission? My flu is clean and within the marks on the dipstick, I don’t have a sense of smell so I can’t tell whether it’s burnt or not but it definitely does not look like it. Please help guys. If I have to buy a used transmission and install it I need to get it today or tomorrow at the latest. Thanks in advance!

See this post for diagnostics:

The "shift solenoid E" referenced in the diagnostics is behind a access cover.
Shift solenoids A through E are behind item 7 cover shown in: https://www.acurapartsforless.com/v-...nsmission-case
Many Honda/Acura people have posted on other websites that removing the solenoids and cleaning the "pipe, joint" has improved transmission performance.
The pipes have screens in them and they can get blocked by debris.
See Item 3: https://www.acurapartsforless.com/v-...c--at-solenoid
It might be a long shot solution but changing the filter might help:
See Item 4: https://www.acurapartsforless.com/v-...gauge-atf-pipe
It's a PITA to get access. You might have to remove battery and/or air filter housing.

When was the last time you replaced your fluid? Did you use Honda/Acura fluid?
