Hello everyone. I've had many Hondas in addition to my '04 Coupe, I've currently got a '06 Accord Sedan (6 spd manual) and an '02 CRV.

So I've got a bit of a problem and hoping that you guys can help me out. I bought this Civic with a bad transmission and have installed a used Transmission. The original was a BMXA and after some research I learned that an SLXA would work fine as long as I changed the range switch.

So after some adjustments on the gear selector and range switch, I've got it going into all gears properly and indicating the correct gear. I've also changed the speed sensor and TCC solenoid back to the originals from the BMXA in case they had something to do with this problem, but it remains.

The car drives fine and shifts nice through all gears. And I can watch the tach and see the TCC lockup and also unlock as it should when stepping on it some and then it locks right back up again just as I would expect. Driving for the first 5 - 10 minutes at speeds up to about 45 mph, I can see it work and no code came up. Then after about 2 minutes at 70 mph the light comes on for code P0741.

Any ideas? Other sensors that need to be swapped back to originals?

Thanks!

Todd

It's picking up the torque converter clutch slipping when it was supposed to be completely engaged (lockup), for whatever reason (hydraulic, mechanical, or electrical). Even a 1% slip factor can cause the code.

Input shaft RPM was supposed to match the engine RPM while TCC was engaged-- and it didn't, for at least 16 seconds.

Thanks ezone!

Has anyone else had a similar situation? Just hoping to narrow this down by checking any issues that have been experienced by others.

Thanks!
