2001 CL - 241,000 miles, car was running great until check engine and TCS light came on.

Car will run at low RPMs and shifts ok, under moderately hard acceleration the trans slips until the RPM is lowered and then it will kick back into gear.

The code says torque converter, solenoid problem. Is it worth just putting in a torque convertor or should I rebuild/replace trans?

Also, I have noticed on Car-parts(dot)com that only the 2001 CL trans will interchange. Can I use a TL or Oddy trans?

Any advice is helpful.

Thanks
Mark

 

Yea, torque converter code is usually a death code.

I would swap in an Accord V6 tranny from 06-07? Not sure on years, but they are much more reliable and won't give you any problems. Almost identical, so no modification necessary except transferring over a couple simple parts.

 

ur trans is fucked.. clutches are likely burnt to a crisp and there's no grabbing material left on them.

i got mine rebuilt with levelten parts and put a trans cooler on the secon time.. the first time i did a straight rebuild and it lasted 2600kms... now with these aftermarket clutches,seals, and blah blah.. plus the trans cooler... i am at 75000kms and it still drives like new.
