First I recomend you perform a transmission fluid flush before check any sensor. Most of the times is the filter dirty. It happened to my Chevy truck. It was just the filter plugged. That is why was the code p0741 and the truck at 45 to 55 was loosing and gaining power...
I recently got a transmission fluid change done by the dealership on my 06 Acura TL and never had any issues beforehand. Only a few weeks later did the check engine light come on and is now throwing that code. They’re suggesting I replace the transmission but that doesn’t seem right. Do you think there might be some correlation? I’m under the assumption they never did the flush properly or did not inform me on the next steps. Should I get another flush done?
My Toyota Corolla 2005 usually display the P0741 code whenever I scan it and I have already changed my Torque Converter and yet it keep showing, please what could be the pending issue? I am frustrated already

I have an 07 Suburban with a 4l60e. Getting p0741. Cluster panel had a warning that said transmission fluid hot idle engine. Trans temp was at 255. Was also getting slipping at times when accelerating. Fluid looks and smells normal. Is it possible fluid and filter change could fix this or does this sound like rebuild/replacement?
What car do you have? You can learn a lot by searching for the common problems of the car. I am having a p0741 code in my gf honda civic 2007 and I found that it's likely the tcc solenoid that applies the clutch pressure. I havent changed it yet but I'm expecting that to fix it
@@thenman23 no. I think what happened was it was overfilled with oil when I bought it. After I changed the oil to the right level it hasent thrown that code. It might still be the torque converter solenoid going bad but it's only a 2600 dollar car so as long as it drives into to worried about it.
Can code p0741 can be solve with change transmision fluid for several times? After i done already change new filter olso check wiring and solonoid valve seems look ok.

Hello. I have a 2005 Minicooper R53, automatic transmission. When I turn on the air conditioning, the automatic transmission goes crazy and then turns off the engine (in motion). I turn off the engine, wait a while and continue normally with the air conditioning off. Have you ever heard of a similar case? Any idea what it could be? Note: with the air conditioning off, the automatic transmission works normally. Thanks.
It sounds like an electrical problem in the vehicle. With the ac on you may be intervening with the electrical system for the trans. Possible to much draw on electrical system with ac on. Make sure you have a good battery with good connections. Check all grounds. Have a code scan done. Pay attention to any unusual noises especially when the problem happens. Check Mini Cooper forums.
Good info, I having the same code p0741 on my 04 4Runner it dies when I tried putting in gears. It idles fine in park and neutral and it die only when I tried putting in gears. It make a clacking sound when I turn off the engine. Does that mean my transmission is broken?

Appreciate your video. Thank you. I realize this is along shot. Hoping you might help us please. Do you have any idea why our 1990 Honda Accord Auto Transmission does not shift into reverse sometimes and makes the funny clicking sound? Other times we start it and it shifts into reverse perfectly. We've flushed the AT and put the Honda fluid, checked the lock up and shift solenoids and cleaned the small screens. Does the Honda Lock up solenoid lock up the torque convertor clutch to make it go into reverse? Here is a video of the sound.. Thank you very much. @H9y4

Where can I buy the clutch? I have a P0740, I put new tcc, pwm, 3-2 downshift solenoids, ignition switch and MIL light comes on when am coming to a stop only when going 45mph or above
Actually 741 is the PCM measuring "SLIPPAGE" beyond the programmed limits. Which is usually a SEAL problem. While the accompanying code 1860, will be the "SOLENOID". But often is an "Intermittent" solenoid problem, which only gives the 741 code. Since as said,.. Is a measure of the given slippage. (approx 4%+) NIETHER OF WHICH,.. Is a Torque Converter issue. Though is part of the Direct Lockup drive system. At or above 41mph per programming specifications. Least that's what I know from my Caddy experiences. Currently a 2002 STS which I fixed with Lucas Trans Fix : ) 2700 miles without this (intermittent the last 2 yrs) code popping up. (just an experiment, after dropping a half dozen engines and transaxles) I'm sure it will be back... And a trouble code that is Far To Common. Though everything is common for Caddies 😂 😢 Best I can tell ya 🤞 EXCEPT. I would check your Grounds. And add an EXTRA Decent Gauge Ground from your Engine, to a good spot on your chassis. Preferably a spot you make yourself. Clean and well sealed. I have found TONS of issues solved by this simple addition. As these Cads seem to have Shitty Continuity and corrosion problems you will never find. But this works Great. As most sensors obviously are on your engine,.. Etc. Jus FYI ☺
Took my 2002 Oldsmobile Alero to the dealership with the same code and it would start slipping when it was shifting into 3rd gear. They said the only option was to replace the transmission ($1800). I left as the car is 17 years old and not worth $1800. Is replacing the transmission the only option to fix this issue?
$1800 is before $1000labor. I replaced mine and already having problems code: P0741 torque converter stuck after 500 miles: and again today after 1500 since swapping in a Reman 4t65E. Also, it lost 3 quarts of ATF somehow!?
I'm told if the p0741 code is the sensor. Which is about 40 $ it's the labor that's costly. Because of what needs to be done. To get to it. I have that code on my 2002 caddie deville. V8. Apparently this is a common problem with these cars.
hi could you leave me your email address I would have a problem with bmw 120d with error p0741 where it says converter exclusion clutch incorrectly disengaged. this problem is similar to yours but I find it only when I am at a constant speed ...

@@alexcastillo1997 This isn't a PERFECT INDICATOR. But if around 41mph at regular acceleration,.. It should feel like it Hits another gear. Which is the TCC Solenoid locking in. Remember.

Whoa Johnny, you're speaking quantum physics in Swahili! I got a kia, I'm not proud, sedona. Po741 It gets crap mpg for what the car is rated (18/24 = 11/15) even though I'm seeing 5th gear ⚙️ and doing 60-65mph cruise control set. Not worth "fixing" Can I add some crap to the transmission to help it out? Transmission honey? Aside from that, I'm shopping out a replacement vehicle.
What would cause a P0741 code on a 2007 Toyota Corolla? Because my car is running fine ... I have been driving it rough revving at high speeds pushing it before the code came on.
I have a 2006 Toyota Corolla and I had the same problem P0741. The local mechanic wanted $2500 to fix it. Way too much money. I look online and I got directed to a UA-cam video . There’s a video of a nice Asian guy who has the same code and the same car. He shows how to disconnect the wires to the transmission. He has step by step instructions on how to clean the connections with electronic spray cleaner. I went to Home Depot and bought some WD40 Electrical cleaner spray. I watched the video again to make sure on the process. I cleaned the connections and it worked. My check engine light is not on anymore. I saved the money the mechanic wanted to fix it. It’s not hard to do at all. I have had the light on for over a year. I have been driving the car all week and still no check engine light. I hope this helps.
Now that's a smart man who knows what he's talking bout .

I put a new torque converter and the same code came on
Actually 741 is the PCM measuring "SLIPPAGE" beyond the programmed limits.
Which is usually a SEAL problem.
While the accompanying code 1860, will be the "SOLENOID".
But often is an "Intermittent" solenoid problem, which only gives the 741 code. Since as said,.. Is a measure of the given slippage. (approx 4%+)
NIETHER OF WHICH,.. Is a Torque Converter issue.
Though is part of the Direct Lockup drive system. At or above 41mph per programming specifications.
Least that's what I know from my Caddy experiences.
Currently a 2002 STS which I fixed with Lucas Trans Fix : )
2700 miles without this (intermittent the last 2 yrs) code popping up.
(just an experiment, after dropping a half dozen engines and transaxles)
I'm sure it will be back...
And a trouble code that is Far To Common. Though everything is common for Caddies 😂 😢
Best I can tell ya 🤞
TANGLDWEB thank you

This isn't a PERFECT INDICATOR.
But if around 41mph at regular acceleration,.. It should feel like it Hits another gear. Which is the TCC Solenoid locking in. Remember. This IS a 4speed trans with OD.
The reason why these cars can go upwards of 160 😂
And unless you are in a state as mine, (Washington),.. Which requires Emissions testing. Or this is Really Effecting DRIVABILITY.
It's really nothing to worry about.
GOOD LUCK 👍

...oh,.. That'll be $1100.
I accept PAYPAL 😂
Drive sprocket support 8681071 p/n wears out and takes out the TCC seals, very common problem with the 4t80.
Very well
My 2013 malibu eco has this code after fluid flush.
Any suggestions?
Possible solenoid clogged up and/or something could have stuck in valve body.
We use dex vi fluid with a Lube Guard platinum additive
What happens when your 4l60e torque converter stays locked
You get 7 neutrals
nice stylus pro, it looks well worn.
Damn that will cost more than my 2004 is worth. Uhg
Whoa Johnny, you're speaking quantum physics in Swahili!
I got a kia, I'm not proud, sedona.
Po741
It gets crap mpg for what the car is rated (18/24 = 11/15) even though I'm seeing 5th gear ⚙️ and doing 60-65mph cruise control set.
Not worth "fixing"
Can I add some crap to the transmission to help it out?
Transmission honey?
Aside from that, I'm shopping out a replacement vehicle.
I think buying another car is a better option
That is what happened to my Cadillac 2004 nobody wants to buy my car because of that
Lmao john the trans guy
What would cause a P0741 code on a 2007 Toyota Corolla? Because my car is running fine ... I have been driving it rough revving at high speeds pushing it before the code came on.
Possible internal failure

I have a 2006 Toyota Corolla and I had the same problem P0741. The local mechanic wanted $2500 to fix it. Way too much money. I look online and I got directed to a UA-cam video . There’s a video of a nice Asian guy who has the same code and the same car. He shows how to disconnect the wires to the transmission. He has step by step instructions on how to clean the connections with electronic spray cleaner. I went to Home Depot and bought some WD40 Electrical cleaner spray. I watched the video again to make sure on the process. I cleaned the connections and it worked. My check engine light is not on anymore. I saved the money the mechanic wanted to fix it. It’s not hard to do at all. I have had the light on for over a year. I have been driving the car all week and still no check engine light. I hope this helps.
@@Windows121165 I tried this method as well and that connection is such a pain to pull off but i did and nope it didn't help me in my case ...
