    Hello! Got a 98 gtp I recently bought..with right under 195,000 miles. So I went to Advanced today to get some codes pulled. Here's what i got.. P0741, P0742, and P0756. Also got P0303 cyn. 3 misfire, but i don't believe that is transmission related. Another thing is, I checked the tranny fluid and it was metallic grey and had a burnt smell to it. So my question is.. What kind of repairs am I looking at? Or am i looking at getting another transmission or rebuilt?

    Is the transmission acting funny?

    Yeah i kind of figured. It's acting pretty funny. It will rarely get out of second. It shudders and jerks sometimes, especially from a dead stop. RMPs don't really bounce around though. Drove it to the store yesterday morning.. got back in it and it stalled out as soon as i would put it in reverse. Did that about 3 times before it would actually engage. Didn't stall out on me today but now it seems to be making a whine noise, more notably at 30+ mph.

    Hoenstly with the amount of codes the transmission is throwing and the state of the fluid inside, its well on its way out.

    I'd look at a used junkyard transmisson or get it fully rebuilt.

    I'd clear the codes and see what comes back. Then you know what's truly current and don't worry about history codes.

    For some info.. I found this about the 741 and 742

    Thanks for the info! Probably just going to swap it out for a used one. Seems to be the best bet.

    What other vehicles can i look for in the junkyard that would be compatible?

    You could probably get some life out of it yet with a fluid and filter change and a bottle of lucas stop slip. It's worth a shot at least.
