I have just finished installing a "re-manufactured" valve body on my 2006 MazdaTribute 2.3L and have cycled the transmission fluid and got it to operational temperature. I went to put it in reverse and take it for a test drive but the tribute went forward in reverse. Park is park, reverse is forward, neutral is sometimes neutral or drive, drive is drive. I was wondering if I maybe put a bolt in the wrong place, the parking pawl is in the wrong place or maybe something else could have happened. I put all the bolts back in the way it came from the place I bought it. So, maybe the did it wrong and i just didn't catch it. Any help will be appreciated.

The reason is the engine speed and transmission speed sensors don't agree. It could be caused by a bad transmission speed sensor, bad transmission fluid, a failed solenoid in the valve body ( in the transmission pan), a worn out valve body, a bad transmission, improper tires(that don't match each other), a faulty MAP sensor (air flow sensor on the air intake), faulty engine speed sensor and possibly a few other things.

Get the codes with a reader, and it might direct you in the right direction. But take the reading with a grain of salt, because it rarely tells you the exact problem. My fail safe came on and the code was TCC solenoid, but after replacing that, I had to install a rebuilt valve body to solve the problem.

Stop using it & have the transmission temp issue
checked out

Ever change the trans fluid since it was new?

Doing it now won't help if debris froze up a valve
or temp switch in the valve body or the valve body
is worn or that model has issues that need to be updated

You can replace the transmission valve body as per the instruction or install a new TCC apply valve kit. However the installation requires for the valve body to be removed and honed out by a special tool. I wouldn't recommend this procedure unless you have the proper tools and the know how about the inner workings of the automatic transmissions.

This bulletin is being revised to update VIN Breakpoint Date information and revise the Parts Information table. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 01-07-30-023A (Section 07 -- Transmission/Transaxle).

Condition: Some customers may comment on a harsh 1-2 upshift and the Check Engine Light or Service Engine Soon indicator is illuminated.

Diagnosis: Typically, these vehicles will have been driven more than 32,000 km (20,000 mi) before this condition occurs.

The scan tool may show a DTC P1870 set as a history code.

A harsh 1-2 shift or DTC P1870, caused by wear in the control valve body, may be difficult to duplicate when the transmission temperature is below 93°C (200°F).

Cause: The condition may be due to wear in the control valve body. This wear occurs in the bore that contains the TCC isolator and regulator valves, and results in poor, or no, TCC apply.

Important:
• DTC P1870 is a type B code. The conditions for setting the P1870 DTC must occur on TWO CONSECUTIVE TRIPS (ignition cycles, with a drive cycle) before setting a P1870 history code.
• When the conditions for setting DTC P1870 are met (first trip), the PCM commands maximum line pressure and harsh 1-2 shifts are the result.
• This may result in a harsh 1-2 shift with no history code if the conditions for setting the DTC required for the second trip are not met, on two consecutive trips (Ignition cycles, with a drive cycle).
• When the conditions for setting the DTC are met, on the second consecutive trip, a DTC P1870 is stored as a history code.
• When the P1870 code is stored, the PCM will turn on the Service Engine Soon (SES), Check Engine Light (CEL), or Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL).

Correction: Install a control valve body with the revised TCC regulator and isolator valves. Refer to the Parts Information table below. These valves are used in all transmissions produced after January 15, 2000 (Julian Date 0015), and all of the service parts currently available through GMSPO contain revised TCC regulator and isolator valves.

Important: If all of the following conditions are true, it is not necessary to rebuild the transmission or to replace additional transmission components beyond the control valve body.
• Transmission operation is normal before the transmission reaches operating temperature, or before DTC P1870 is set (no slips, flares, or missing gears).
• The torque converter is not blue or overheated.
• The transmission fluid is not burned or has no burned odor.
• The transmission fluid pan contains no abnormal debris (clutch material, bronze, brass, or metal fragments).

Hope helps.

P0741 Torque convertor clutch circuit failure,it is located in the transmission valvle body, it is attatch to the valve body you can remove it seperately as long as your going to own the Ford focus you might as well get use to replacing these all the time,very common transmission issue with todays car. By the way it is sensitive to worn transmission fluid,when you dont service often these are suspectable to failure.

Yes I would recommend a flush on any Saturn S series car with an automatic transmission, the main reason for that is if the fluid is kept in the transmission to long the dirty fluid wears out the pressure regulator bore inside the valve body on these transmissions(TAAT) causing problems with shifting into reverse when hot, requiring the valve body to get replaced in the transmission, so if your transmission is shifting normal I would get the fluid changed and a new filter installed to ensure the transmission maintains proper shift quality.

This code is for the pressure control solenoid located in the valve body of the transmission. I recommend getting this solenoid replaced and the wiring harness leading from the outside of the transmission to the valve body inspected for signs of transmission fluid leaking into connection of harness as this will cause issues too. Ignoring this code can lead to poor trans shifting and possible engine stalls.

If this is an automatic then your car uses transmission fluid.
