Revs High; sometimes when putting into reverse handle gets stuck and takes several tries to get it into reverse (doesn't happen often); sometimes when it's in reverse, car goes nowhere (like it's in neutral); P0741 code came up; otherwise car runs fine; does it need a new transmission?
Change the solinoid the code is calling up. The converter is fine if it wasn't it would screw up in all gears. I believe its the reverse solinoid control. Just replace that. They do go haywire from time to time. Also check the electrical connection plug first, oil aand contamination can cause the same problem. Cleat both ends of the electrical plugs first then go from there. My bet " dirty or contaminated harness plugs".
Yes it does. ANy partial repairs you try (valve body, solenoids, or whatever others will whif at) will likely be temporary at best. VERY FEW transmission problems aside from circuit codes make sense repairing single components.

Sounds like a problem with the cable or shifter. look at the front of the transmission where the cable conects. Have someone move the shifter through its positions and see that the cable is moving the transmission lever properly.

Toyota is aware of this situation. Production changes have ocurred to correct this condition.
Here is what you do: Take your vehicle to your Toyota dealer. Tell them that you have a P-0741 code, and you want them to apply "Toyota Technical Service bulletin TC008-04" to your vehicle. They will perform several tests, and if you vehicle is lower than 5 years old, and less than 60, 000 miles, they will fix it for free. This TSB is covered by the Powertrain Warranty. Additionally, Thay may replace the ECU with an updated unit, and that particular warranty is in effect for 96 months or 80,000 miles.
This will definatly cure your issue.

firstly it could be that the check engine light is mal-functioning or not. why not drive it as they said and if after that its still on get back to us.
Testimonial: "This is very helpful information. I just would like to know, once the cycles completes will the check engine go out on its own or not?"

P0741 deals with internal transmission torque converter slip. A proper scan tool that is capable of reading the sensor's data inside the transmission would show the slipping torque converter and the fluid temperature.
It is critical to know exactly what conditions are present when the code stores. If the codes were not erased, they could be old codes in it's history.
Go back to the transmission shop or where you had the work done on replacing the TCC solenoid and have them read and clear the codes history. As mentioned, they could be old codes that is being read prior to your repairs.
Thank you for using Fixya and good luck, Have a shop verify line pressure, and provided no valves in the TCC hydraulic circuit are worn, replace the torque converter. Also, Lubegard Shudder Fix will at least fix this for awhile. Or try a transmission flush by a shop that uses BG brand products.
Testimonial: "Thank you very very much."

it means that either your solenoid is getting stuck or not performing well and getting stuck .check also for lose conections on the solenoid if not replace tha sensor
