    Dealer Tech here, great repair. 99.9% its never the solenoid. Great video my friend. Liked and subscribed.

      Hello, my dakota 2011 when taking temperature remains without advancing. I have to wait for it to cool down before I can move on. Returns the code P0740, do you know what the problem may be?

      Mine went out and I found a video that described it to the tee. It gave the MOPAR part#. Do you happen to know it? The dealer said exact same thing you did. 99% sure this wouldn't fix it. It did. Now it's happened again, ...to another 2010 Chry T&C (both 3.8). They both shuddered and died in forward, went perfectly fine in reverse and could be driven by:
      1. Avoiding stops if possible
      2. Shifting to neutral just before stopping
      3. Shifting into drive and applying throttle vigorously
      I drove each of them home from 300+ miles away.
      To sum up:
      This solenoid may not be the problem 99% of the time, but for me it's been the problem 100% of the time.

      From experience these vans are notorious for chewing up torque converters due to improper shift programming from factory. After you get the torque converter replaced make sure to update the car to the newest software that improves shift quality.

    I agree with the recommendation here. I just overhauled my family van transmission in my garage. The torque converter and input clutch set are the only parts you need to replace for that P0740. Should you replace the solenoid? That’s up to you. It’s easy enough to check the pin connectors to see how f you have a solenoid out of spec.
    But from personal experience from completing an overhaul on my 62TE at 164k miles the only parts needing replaced were the torque converter and input clutches. Save your money folks.

    I had my trans rebuilt and and new torque convertor and new solenoid pack . 3 months later Im having fuild leaking from breathing cap and car kinda doesnt go into drive right away it hesitates to go into gear.They didn't change that TCC sensor. I just order it and hope it corrects the problem. I already did the transmission fluid and filter just in case it was a filter problem and it didnt correct the problem.

    I have a 2019 Caravan GT.. transmission was replaced at 180k miles which is verified by carfax, AMCOO & owner had receipt - Previous owner used van to do uber. The van is immaculate and a lot of service records - So far only issue I had was replacing the dreaded oil filter housing everyone replaces with the upgraded metal DORMAN housing. Well, I just bought the van off him at 240k (Never owned a caravan before) I feel like it has loud air like swoosh sound when I take off & accelerate. (Transmission shifts perfect when I drive) But also sometimes from drive to reverse and reverse to drive it might turn off. Today got the P0868 Code. I read somewhere it could be the TCC Solenoid? or Is it the convertor? or the trans fluid pressure sensor itself? I just purchased the trans filter & fluid to do a service next week as well. (No check engine light but when I scanned it that code came up) I will also change the alternator this weekend as it was flooded with oil due to the oil filter house leaking. (The battery light came on - we suspect since alt got oil and belt as well - it was not charging battery right) But there's definitely something going on in the trans due to the loud swoosh and P0868 code. Any help is appreciated.
    PS: at idle my torque convertor slip is at about 60. (I have no driven it with the scanner connected to see the torque convertor slip results)

    So if you replace two parts at the same time and the issue is fixed, you never really know what part fixed what. Unless he cuts open the TC and looks at the clutch. The TCC valve CAN become clogged up since most owners never replace the transmission fluid. I'd spend $50 on a sensor unless before I dump a grand into a TC replacement.
