Hey guys so apparently I have come across the P0742 eroor code:Torque Converter Clutch Solenoid Circuit Stuck On.
Car:
2000 GTP
Small backtrack:
It started yesterday when driving. My trans would make a low whining noise, like that of a SC. When accelerating from a light the car would buck then have a rough time accelerating, then the check engine light came on. Later that day when driving home I don't think the gear engaged because the RPM would go up to 3 and four with no acceleration what so ever. So I bring it to my buddies house to check the error code it threw. We cleared the code (which was the P0742) and drove it to see if it would throw it again. The car seemed fine for a little while and then all the symptoms came back. After doing some research, it seems that the 4T65E-HD has this common problem with the most frequent fix is doing the TCC Solenoid. I drove it back home and it became more frequent that the gears don't engage and it would shudder . My buddy let me take the scanner so that I could clear the codes when I couldn't drive the car.
Question:
1)Is this just a TCC Solenoid replacement or could it be something else?
2)When doing the replacement of the TCC what is the part number? When searching on Rock Auto it shows many TCC Solenoids but I can't figure which one is the right one to get.
3)Since replacing the solenoid requires dropping the trans, are there any other solenoids or parts that I should be replacing (like Torque Converter or TSS)?
Thank you for your time guys, I really do appreciate it. I wanna get my baby back on the road...
