Hi Guys,
I have the dreaded P0741 on my 2004 Vibe. When I received it, the transmission fluid was dark brown, but not burnt. From some research it sounded like this may have been playing a part in the P0741 code. I did 2 transmission fluid changes a couple of weeks apart, just spill and fills. I reset the code, and was good for a couple of weeks, but it returned shortly after. The fluid was still pretty dark even after the two changes. It's been an ongoing issue for the last year or so, and I finally got around to performing a full flush on the system with all new fluid. A couple of weeks later and it's back on again. There's no issue with the quality of the fluid at this point obviously, so I'm leaning towards believing the TCC solenoid may actually be faulty. I know lots have alleviated the issue by changing the fluid, but curious if anyone has actually went ahead and replaced the solenoid here, and if they had any success. Also, if anyone could provide the part number or replacement that they used it would be greatly appreciated. Rockauto has a couple, but there's a $50+ difference between the two. Thanks!
