🙏 I’m glad I was able to help you out. This is exactly why I make these videos.💯 I appreciate you watching Eddie. Were you able to replace your Torque converter clutch solenoid?
Roberto, you’re welcome. Some of these videos out here are very poor quality. I try to make my videos easy to follow, clear and short. Thanks for watching. Stay tuned for more.👍
Just want to ask a question❓ what was the whole purpose of changing it is it for better performance or something else that I don't know of please enlighten me
@@JohnnysWhips To be honest the lights came back on after the change. For the TCC I deleted the code, so maybe it was memory. The range sensor on the other hand can't seem to fix that even with a new part. My car is complicated because I had ridden on max overheat a few times which could have screwed up some things internally.
@@voltixD oh man I’m sorry to hear that. I wish I could help but I’m just learning too. Go online and check Honda Civic forums, TH-cam videos and buy the repair manual for your car. That’s what I do. Let us know if you figure it out, good luck 👍
Hey Johnny I am having P0740 code with my 2001 civic But it is driving totally fine What do you think should I do Is it the torque converter clutch solenoid ?
im assuming there was a check engine light that indicated something was wrong, when u checked it with the obd2 scanner, what code showed up for this issue?
Great how to video but I don't think you said why you were replacing it. I'm having some issues with my car. It's actually exactly the same car as in the video what were the symptoms. How do you know there was an issue with the solenoid?
Hi. Great video. My question is that my Honda civic 2005 Automatic transmission Car cannot move on Drive and reverse. But very slowly and after some meters running coming on nuteral and not moving on giving accelerator.
D4 will flash meaning don't drive it until u swap it out or else u will end up damaging the torque converter or the transmission itself! Very risky and need immediate attention to change it out!
Hey man I’m trying to figure out what happened with my civic (05 ex se) I was driving at like 25-30 mph and came to a red light and instantly the car got a stutter, and when I went to drive off for the green light the engine just revved like I was in neutral. After turning it off and on the torque converter grabbed but won’t engage for long so I had to park it after having no acceleration. The shifter feels a lot more stiff when I put it in park from drive I’m pretty stuck on what could be wrong. What caused you to replace the solenoid? I have no engine lights or anything no warning before it happened I just stopped at a red light and the rest was history no fluid leaking or anything.
Sorry for the late reply, To be honest with you I don’t know why that would happen to your car I’m really not sure. The reason I replaced the torque converter clutch solenoid on my car is because I plugged in my scanner when the check engine light came on and it said the torque converter clutch solenoid was bad. This happened after I put a JDM transmission. Then afterwards I found out that this was a common problem but the car runs good and the transmission runs strong. The only thing is that the check engine light stays on. Did you ever figure out what happened with your car?
@@JohnnysWhips did you have to swap anything over to the JDM trans? I might pick one up, but I’ve read that you need to swap solenoids over? Don’t know how true that is.
D4 flashing constant and there would be no flow for the oil to switch them gears. If u don't change it, most likely ur torque converter or transmission will ne shock or broken then u will need replacement! So fix asap and don't try to even drive it once d4 does flashes very poor decision just letting u know.
Yo JOhnny! Great info, thanks for the video. What were the symptoms that told you it needed to be replaced? Also, was there an engine code that confirmed it?
Adam, what’s up bro! The car doesn’t have any symptoms at all. I put a JDM transmission and the check engine light came on. I plugged in my 3140rs Innova scanner and the code P1457 comes out. It says torque converter clutch failure. The car runs great with no problems. I’ve seen other videos were people say that they drive it like that for years and there’s nothing wrong with it but for some reason the JDM transmissions cause that check engine light to come on. I clear it but it comes back only when I go over 65 MPH. Only at that speed and above. If I never drive more than 65 mph the check engine light won’t come on but as soon as I go past 65 it turns on but nothing is wrong with the car drives perfectly fine with or without the check engine light on. I didn’t know about this until after I replaced the torque converter clutch solenoid LOL but hey we got a video out of it….By the way thanks for watching and check out all my other videos.👍
Hey man! Just wanted to add a little to Johnny's reply. You can actually get a couple of codes with this being bad. However, it's only going to code if it's causing some sort of electrical issue that the PCM can read/see (I.E. Ohms out of spec range). You can have a failing TCC that doesn't set a code because of manual operation failure. Common issues of that would be the torque converter not engaging (revving but not going anywhere) or not operating smoothly (car downshifts and free-revs for a second before actually going anywhere...especially when you floor it) or even harsh or jarring upshifting. You can test the internal coil by ohming it out with a multimeter (should be between 12 - 25 ohms) and you can bench test it by putting 12V power to it and listening for a click. There are some other sensors that can cause those issues as well (like the VSS and A-B Shift Solenoid). Short of finding something wrong with the ohms or the bench test, you're stuck shotgun-diagnosing it and randomly replacing sensors. There are some other indicators that may lead you to suspect one sensor over the other (like if your speedo randomly drops and then picks back up and has hard shifting it's probably your VSS and not the TCC... or has erratic up and down shifting and hangs when downshifting under full acceleration it's probably your A-B Shift Solenoid) but the problem is with intermittent failures and no codes, it really COULD be any one of them...or even a couple of them.....or a mechanical failure within the transmission as well. If you're gonna start randomly replacing sensors/solenoids, I would suggest starting with the cheapest and working your way up (so probably TCC, A-B Shift Solenoid, then VSS)

@JohnnysWhips it would be very helpful if u can actually explain what this sensor does and if they don't change what would be the outcome lol. Alot of video show just replace but can't explain the con or pro lol. Maybe u and don't know. But it's very important to change it out. The torque converter clutch is working as switch to let all them gear switch when rpm is reached, and if this sensor doesn't be replaced, most likely ur torque converter or ur transmission will be broken and need to be replace from being damages. This sensor do release the flow of oils into them selectors gears if anyone wants to know what it does. So here I explain it to whoever concern them. My 2 cents for everyone. Thank me later peace out

I'm not sure if this is the problem with my moms Civic, but is this a notorious problem? hers was running fine this morning, then it just started holding back and now it barely wants to run. the codes I got are p0740. p0730 as well.
@@JohnnysWhips I had it checked at a transmission shop and they said the granny needs a rebuild, but I don't trust them..everything that goes in I bet they say it needs a rebuild.
@@JohnnysWhipsThanks brother! I appreciate you. We just recently finished getting her a low mileage transmission. Installed cars running way better now
@@Tactical_Response_Team nice! I’m glad to hear that. I had to do the same with mine but my transmission came from Japan and the check engine light is on saying that the Torque Converter Clutch Solenoid is bad but I replaced it and the check engine light is still on but the car Runs great lol.

Part # 28400-P6H-013 from my local Honda Dealership. That’s the original Honda part number 👍 thanks again for watching, stay tuned for more and don’t forget to Subscriiibe!!!
Hey Johnny, I got the P0730 code on my 03 civic LX and the car doesn't move at all I also got P0740, is that the same thing? Do I need just this, or do I need a new transmission as well?
@@JohnnysWhips i ended up selling the car. i got things working for a while and then it just started failing again. bought a yota of similar years in a manual.
I just replaced my solenoid yesterday and the check engine light cleared on it's own but not even a few hours later it popped up again should i be worried or leave it alone? I also just added tranny fluid before i replaced the solenoid. This is aggravating and i dont want to dump anymore money into it if i dont have too. I havent scanned my civic again to see if its the same code or not but im pretty sure it is. Ugh so frustrating if anybody can explain the cause of this and if i need to look further into why its still popping up please let me know !
I’m not sure but to be honest. The Haynes repair manual is worth it. You can buy one at Auto parts store for about $20. I have one for every car that I own. Full of valuable information. Sorry I couldn’t help more. Thanks for watching. 👍
@@JohnnysWhips my mom's is lagging like a straight snail now! Brung her to. Transmission shop for her and the guy said if neds rebuild (they all say that Shit) debating to buy. Used transmission from eBay for 850 And install it! But it's scary! To take that chance!!???I put mad money in this car to get her right for my mom And my goodness this car is a problem! I should have gotten her a Corolla! Stay away from the 2001 Honda Civic automatic are garbage! Get s manual!
Hello u got 2003 honda civic hesitation from 1 to 2 revs up when i let go of the gas it shifts everything else fine any help would be appreciated code 730
Good place to start but not sure if it will completely fix the problem. Please let us know if you figure it out or so we can try to figure it out. Thanks.
Hello, I have a Honda civic 2005 and I noticed that most of the time if my engine is cold or once you start the engine first thing in the morning, it won't reverse, the transmission will go to R but my car won't move. What seems to be the problem? Is it the solenoid as well? Also, my transmission fluid is in normal level. Thank you in advance!
First thing to do is to drain and fill the fluid, don't flush, and use OEM fluid only. Lucas stopslip may be helpful too. If that doesn't work baby the transmission by not reversing as much as possible and live with it.
@@kevinlima330 Sorry for the super late reply, I've drained the fluid and put a new OEM fluid, I also replaced the solenoid just like on this video, but still the issue persists. Does this mean there's an issue to the torque converter?
@@jericotadeja1033 If you don't have any problems with your other gears or don't get a check engine light it's almost certainly not a solenoid issue. Reverse is likely just wore out.
I don’t know where it is located on your Lexus. I even tried looking it up but no luck. I would recommend buying the Haynes repair manual. I have been able to do jobs with the help of the repair manual. Sorry, I couldn’t help anymore. Thank you for watching. I appreciate it.
My ecu was shot when I first got my car and it would go into limpmode because the ecu wasn't letting my alternator do its job of recharging the battery and so the car would only draw 12v instead of 14. My car had a couple wiring issues biggest being bad grounds so my gues is that my ecu got grounded lol
Watched the whole dang video hoping to find out why you would need to change out a torque converter clutch solenoid, but alas, not a word on the subject, I am leaving with a deep feeling of unfulfillment.
If your car is "lunging" while accelerating, or goes into limp mode and refuses to go over 20 mph, and you get a P730 incorrect gear ratio error on your reader, that might be this solenoid. I'm going to find out tomorrow!
@@emcacodid it fix the problem?!?! Sometimes right after I shift into gear the car will move for a brief second like normal, but then when I step on the gas it doesn’t accelerate but the rpm’s do increase. I usually stay in gear until it the accelerator works again. A couple times the rpm’s have dropped to 0. I got same transmission code, including P0132, P1259, P0720, P0730, I still have hope though 😂
Sometimes the torque converter clutch won’t “grab” or engage, I have been having a similar experience to @drae4204, except my 03 civic ex coupe only has given me a “incorrect ratio code”, and js recently a “torque converter clutch solenoid” code. Am going to change sensor out in the next day or so. But if that doesn’t fix it then it can be a internal problem
@@cesaralvarez9651did that end up fixing your problem? I’ve got the same codes popping up on my 04 and I’m wondering if I gotta get the whole damn thing replaced/rebuilt…
Because when the code comes up on your car to change it, most likely you have REALLY CRAPPY gas mileage, among other things. I have a 2004 Honda Accord that got fantastic gass mileage...until this part decided it wasn't going to work. NOW I fill my car half way up, drive 35 minutes and the gas light is on. That is 20$ to drive 35 minutes. So if that happens, you know you gotta change it.
P0740 and p1753 are the same just different model if u guys do wonder. Its the same solenoid! For honda 2001 to 2005! And that sensor is very very very important to be replaced or else u will end up damaging either ur torque converter or transmission!
The best way to test this is swap the coil pack from another cylinder to the bad one and clear the code. Take it for a test run and check for code again. If the code came up on the cylinder that you swapped the coil then you know one of the coil is bad or the boot is bad. I have seen the boot for the spark plug went bad all the time.
The check engine light turned on. I plugged my scanner and it said that I needed to replace the torque converter clutch solenoid. I didn’t notice anything wrong, the car was still working.
I still have the car. Daily drivers, I drove it today. Runs strong no issues at all. The Check engine light stays on but the car runs and It’s been working great.
@@JohnnysWhips same with my civic does 140mph no problems.. Other than my head lights shut off periodically for some strange reason.. Its stramge like a blink off then turn back on.
@@wang744 try checking out Honda Civic forums online you might find some helpful stuff there. If not take the car to get checked out at an Auto Electric spot. Let us know what happens.🙏
Hey so I recently changed the solenoid but my car is still throwing p0740. What do you think it could be? Also my car doesn’t shift into d3 does that have anything to do with it you think?
@@mahendragirdharri4962 it wasn’t fixed. I cleaned the adapter and Put a brand new tcc in. Also I did a complete flush and trans fluid. I was able to determine that it is in fact the torque converter. I get hard shifts from 1st to 2nd. Bad news is Honda doesn’t sell the part and if your purchase it elsewhere it has to be a Honda OEM part. I live in Pennsylvania. They quoted me $1500 for labor not including the torque converter.
@@JohnnysWhips it’s all good and no I ended up changing the transmission because I lost D3 and D2 but even with the used transmission I’m still getting the same error for the Solenoid
@@Bababooey29 I replaced the transmission on this car and I have the check engine light on. It doesn’t go away. It always says it’s the torque converter clutch solenoid. The transmission I got is JDM. There is nothing wrong with it. It runs great but the light stays on. Is that what is happening with yours?
For anyone else looking where to buy this part, use the OEM part number at other car part stores. All the major car part stores where I live (AutoZone, Advance Auto and O'Reillys) call this a Transmission Control Solenoid, so you won't find anything looking for "Clutch Converter Solenoid". Averages $50 and matches with the OEM part number OP gave. Hope that helps.
I just replaced the transmission. It has been working really good. The only thing is that that check engine light stays on but it works perfectly fine.
I also have a P0741 code in my 2004 Honda Civic. Transmission feel like it doesn’t get enough power when accelerating. It revs up and then catches before it goes, and it downshifts when cruising down hill and won’t shift properly when accelerating. Any suggestions?
If the torque converter clutch solenoid is the reason why the code is on yes but if it’s something else then the code will remain on. For example it could also be the torque converter itself which is located inside of the transmission. Get a scanner, find out the code that your car has and research the code online. I even bought the repair manual for this car. It was only like $20 at AutoZone and it’s very helpful. Let us know how it goes, thanks Albert.👍

@@Tactical_Response_Team nice! I’m glad to hear that. I had to do the same with mine but my transmission came from Japan and the check engine light is on saying that the Torque Converter Clutch Solenoid is bad but I replaced it and the check engine light is still on but the car Runs great lol.

Does this help with code p0740 ? It says torque converter clutch valve only that code pops up with that I need help

I just replaced my solenoid yesterday and the check engine light cleared on it's own but not even a few hours later it popped up again should i be worried or leave it alone? I also just added tranny fluid before i replaced the solenoid. This is aggravating and i dont want to dump anymore money into it if i dont have too. I havent scanned my civic again to see if its the same code or not but im pretty sure it is. Ugh so frustrating if anybody can explain the cause of this and if i need to look further into why its still popping up please let me know !
exelent video,very nice and easy to change that, iam going to do it by my self to see how much money i can safe jejejejeje.....

Would you happen to know where this is located on a 2007 Honda Civic EX?

Hello, I have a Honda civic 2005 and I noticed that most of the time if my engine is cold or once you start the engine first thing in the morning, it won't reverse, the transmission will go to R but my car won't move. What seems to be the problem? Is it the solenoid as well? Also, my transmission fluid is in normal level. Thank you in advance!
First thing to do is to drain and fill the fluid, don't flush, and use OEM fluid only. Lucas stopslip may be helpful too. If that doesn't work baby the transmission by not reversing as much as possible and live with it.
Got it, will do it after new year. Thanks for replying.@@kevinlima330
@@kevinlima330 Sorry for the super late reply, I've drained the fluid and put a new OEM fluid, I also replaced the solenoid just like on this video, but still the issue persists. Does this mean there's an issue to the torque converter?
@@jericotadeja1033 If you don't have any problems with your other gears or don't get a check engine light it's almost certainly not a solenoid issue. Reverse is likely just wore out.

Yooo Johnny I Need Your Help On A 2001 Honda Civic Lx Coupe

What a different between d17a and d16a solenoid?is't same?
Yes, I believe it’s the same. Sorry for the late reply.
Would a bad ecm make the transmission go into limp mode..
My ecu was shot when I first got my car and it would go into limpmode because the ecu wasn't letting my alternator do its job of recharging the battery and so the car would only draw 12v instead of 14. My car had a couple wiring issues biggest being bad grounds so my gues is that my ecu got grounded lol
Yes, that is a possible reason.
Thanks cause it goes into limp mode starts slipping..if I reset check engine light it drives again for few then trips again
@@downsouthhustler1 did you ever figure it out, just wondering? Thanks 🙏
@@JohnnysWhips no..changed ignition and computer .. new speedometer sensor..same thing..so on the hunt for another trans
what was the symptoms with the transmission that let to this change?
Watched the whole dang video hoping to find out why you would need to change out a torque converter clutch solenoid, but alas, not a word on the subject, I am leaving with a deep feeling of unfulfillment.
If your car is "lunging" while accelerating, or goes into limp mode and refuses to go over 20 mph, and you get a P730 incorrect gear ratio error on your reader, that might be this solenoid. I'm going to find out tomorrow!
@@emcacodid it fix the problem?!?! Sometimes right after I shift into gear the car will move for a brief second like normal, but then when I step on the gas it doesn’t accelerate but the rpm’s do increase. I usually stay in gear until it the accelerator works again. A couple times the rpm’s have dropped to 0. I got same transmission code, including P0132, P1259, P0720, P0730, I still have hope though 😂
Sometimes the torque converter clutch won’t “grab” or engage, I have been having a similar experience to @drae4204, except my 03 civic ex coupe only has given me a “incorrect ratio code”, and js recently a “torque converter clutch solenoid” code. Am going to change sensor out in the next day or so. But if that doesn’t fix it then it can be a internal problem
@@cesaralvarez9651did that end up fixing your problem? I’ve got the same codes popping up on my 04 and I’m wondering if I gotta get the whole damn thing replaced/rebuilt…
Because when the code comes up on your car to change it, most likely you have REALLY CRAPPY gas mileage, among other things. I have a 2004 Honda Accord that got fantastic gass mileage...until this part decided it wasn't going to work. NOW I fill my car half way up, drive 35 minutes and the gas light is on. That is 20$ to drive 35 minutes. So if that happens, you know you gotta change it.
P0740 and p1753 are the same just different model if u guys do wonder. Its the same solenoid! For honda 2001 to 2005! And that sensor is very very very important to be replaced or else u will end up damaging either ur torque converter or transmission!
Will this fix a P0730? Or do I have to get a whole new transmission? I would drive it when it’s cold then once it’s warmed up it won’t drive anymore
Mine does this did you ever get it fixed I know my transmission is still good happened out of nowhere
Alvin, to be honest I'm not sure.
Im have that code now. Did yall fix it. Will new transmission oil fix it?
Can you do a video on how to fix a cylinder misfire code p0302
The best way to test this is swap the coil pack from another cylinder to the bad one and clear the code. Take it for a test run and check for code again. If the code came up on the cylinder that you swapped the coil then you know one of the coil is bad or the boot is bad. I have seen the boot for the spark plug went bad all the time.
I would start with replacing the ignition coils. I’ll make that video! You got it! Thank you for watching. I appreciate it.
So 01-02 will fit an 05?
Yes it should fit from 2001 - 2005. Thanks for watching! 👍

Hey so I recently changed the solenoid but my car is still throwing p0740. What do you think it could be? Also my car doesn’t shift into d3 does that have anything to do with it you think?
Hey there was this issue fixed? I'm having the same p0740 code.
@@mahendragirdharri4962 it wasn’t fixed. I cleaned the adapter and Put a brand new tcc in. Also I did a complete flush and trans fluid. I was able to determine that it is in fact the torque converter. I get hard shifts from 1st to 2nd. Bad news is Honda doesn’t sell the part and if your purchase it elsewhere it has to be a Honda OEM part. I live in Pennsylvania. They quoted me $1500 for labor not including the torque converter.
@@Bababooey29 bro, so sorry for the late reply. Have you fixed it?
@@JohnnysWhips it’s all good and no I ended up changing the transmission because I lost D3 and D2 but even with the used transmission I’m still getting the same error for the Solenoid
@@Bababooey29 I replaced the transmission on this car and I have the check engine light on. It doesn’t go away. It always says it’s the torque converter clutch solenoid.

Ohh ok do you know how much it runs will this fix code P0741 for torque converter clutch circuit performance/stuck off
@@GunPlaySmoke Honda Part Number: 28400-P6H-013 . I live in Los Angeles, Ca. It was $89 at the Honda Dealership
For anyone else looking where to buy this part, use the OEM part number at other car part stores. All the major car part stores where I live (AutoZone, Advance Auto and O'Reillys) call this a Transmission Control Solenoid, so you won't find anything looking for "Clutch Converter Solenoid". Averages $50 and matches with the OEM part number OP gave. Hope that helps.
It works foto code P0741?
Not sure if it will. I'm sorry.
How much luck have you had with the JDM? Once I replaced JDM on 2002 Toyota Highlander. It was OK but didn't feel like had under 60K!
I just replaced the transmission. It has been working really good. The only thing is that that check engine light stays on but it works perfectly fine.
I also have a P0741 code in my 2004 Honda Civic. Transmission feel like it doesn’t get enough power when accelerating. It revs up and then catches before it goes, and it downshifts when cruising down hill and won’t shift properly when accelerating. Any suggestions?
did u find anything out?
And does that remove the code?
If the torque converter clutch solenoid is the reason why the code is on yes but if it’s something else then the code will remain on. For example it could also be the torque converter itself which is located inside of the transmission. Get a scanner, find out the code that your car has and research the code online. I even bought the repair manual for this car. It was only like $20 at AutoZone and it’s very helpful. Let us know how it goes, thanks Albert.👍
