I just returned from Autozone, and have a printout that the "PCM has determined that a malfuntion exists in the electrical circuit for the torque converter clutch".

Has anyone here ever had this problem, and what's that damage going to be to have this fixed?

Thanks

That's just for the torque converter itself, which is all you'd need if you can do the work yourself. If you can't, labor would be a good deal more, not sure what prices you could find in your area.

 

Check the shift solenoids that are on the tranny housing before you dump money on a converter you might not need.

 

you need to do some service bulletin research..... there is a bulletin regarding P0740 / code 40 (honda)

 

i have shift solenoids and a tq convertor off my 94 EX automatic tranny i can sell for cheap.
