I had a reman 5R55S installed at the end of July, filled with Mercon V synthetic. Drove fine for ~6 weeks, then the O/D light started flashing with P0741 (Torque Converter Clutch Performance/Stuck Off). No other codes.
What I know:
Note: It's a Street Smart reman with warranty, but I'd like to rule out anything simple before I go through the claim process.
What I know:
- Fluid may not have been set correctly at install (engine running/warm/check plug). Possibly overfilled. Tried to check the level with a T27 bit but the drain plug was a T30 and I stripped it
. (New plug coming in this weekend). - Cooler/lines were not flushed or replaced (lesson learned).
- No external leaks.
- Using OBDLink MX+, I logged the TCC data:
- TCC Solenoid % = 100%
- Slip Actual = ~200 RPM
- Slip Desired = ~1020 RPM
- Engine RPM ~1770
- Trans Temp ~117°F
- PCM is commanding lockup, but clutch won't fully apply.
- Solenoid seems to be working electrically (otherwise I'd see P0743 too?).
- Code is consistent after driving at 45-60 MPH.
- Car drives fine otherwise, no noticeable slipping in gears, just the code.
