P0741 came back this morning on my way to work. This is only the 2nd time it's happened and I started to notice when it occurs. It only triggers if I am going uphill (or an incline), and I let off the gas? If I let off for a second or two it's fine, but anything longer it triggering the torque converter code. Transmission shifts very well in my opinion, up and down. Only time it doesn't is 2-1 downshift at a light or stop sign when temps are at 210* (dead center). Anything prior to normal operating temperature and the 2-1 lurch is not there at all. I've learned to coast to the stop sign (or light) with light brake pressure to get from 3-2, 2-1 and it helps a little. Still looking to do a transmission service (fluid, filter, pan gasket). I'd really like to do it myself since it seems fairly straight forward and I assume that there is enough clearance for me to just get underneath the vehicle without lifting it (even though that would be a lot easier). I guess I need to invest in some jack stands. Funny, I called my local stealership and they said "We will not perform that service on automatic transmissions. It is lifetime..."
Even if the customer wants it done.
