Dang. The only reason I want this replaced with the others is because when I first started having issues it was throwing a P0742 code as well that said (torque converter clutch solenoid stuck on) but once it was deleted it never came back. Think I could just get by without replacing it? I guess it can be done if needed, just a lot more complicated than first thought.
ive not dug into a tranny myself. but theres a thread here with pic of what bolts to remove and what ones to leave in and the vb comes out as one part so you dont need to open it and deal with any check balls. iirc
Ok good to know. Hopefully I can find it.Quote:

It depends on what caused the solenoid to fail.
If it was a mechanical/electrical failure of the solenoid itself, the code will come back. If it was just a piece of grit that caused the valve it to stick, once it's flushed outta there, you'll probably be okay with just fresh fluid and a filter.
Have you pulled the pan yet?
If the TCC solenoid clip is on the back of the VB, he'll have to split it from the CP.Quote:

ill take everything you say about trannys as if it was law.... you built my tranny after all. :th_thumbsup-wink::th_thumbsup-wink:
Yup. That's why I would recommend pulling the pan before doing anything. Transmission forensics.Quote:

lol like the jesus toaster. i should save it, might be worth something later on.
Pan being pulled first thing in the morning. Very anxious
There is always pasty stuff on the magnet and pan. Pieces are not good to find.

i know what you mean cause ive seen it, but not always. ive seen the egg size mound of mush.
mine got jack on em. i only drained the tranny, didnt touch the inside of the pan.
Even though the fluid was red, if it has more than 20,000 on it then it would be a good idea to replace the filter and top off with fresh fluid anyways. Just from a maintenance point of view.

Finally got it all back together. Its been raining on and off every day this week so its been a pain. Will get the fluid and filter changed today hopefully if the rain ever stops.
