Hi everyone.
Yesterday i went for a drive and my CEL came on. i got a P0700 and a P0740. I looked those up and see that p0740 is the torque converter failing to lock up.
I cleared the codes to see if they will come back.
Today i drove around to see if the TC would lock up or not - it will not. usually i can get it to go in 4th @ a little over 40mph. 55mph and 65mph same thing - it will not lock up.
So what can i do/check? My gas mileage is horrible since it is running at higher rpms. Im not too worried about the transmission getting fried from heat since it is very cold out but i still wonder what to do.
I can't afford a new/rebuilt transmission right now - i know i want to get one or overhaul mine sometime being that the car is close to hitting 180,000 miles.
Its a 2001 LHS. 42LE transmission
Thanks!
Josh
