Miggy specialists / enthusiasts
13. Apr 2011 at 11:35

A few weeks ago I had the code P0743 which I was informed was the solonoid or the torque converter. Being advised to try the cheaper option and replace the solonoid I did to the cost of about £120 including New ATF fluid and gaskets plus the solonoid. Now having put it all back together the code still not clearing. Any advice if I picked the wrong option which I think I have and need the torque converter changed should I just try and get a second hand gearbox and as asked before how difficult is it to replace.

If cleared with a code reader and it still returns then the code is current and not historic......?

Apart from the torque issue when chipping oil burners the auto boxes are normally pretty reliable As Chris says, cam sensor is known to throw up all sorts of strange problems with 4 pots

It can throw up a hat full of auto box codes... Have you checked for engine codes? Failing that a wiring issue?
