November 20, 20196 yr 2010 X Forester with about 215,000 miles. My torque converter lock up clutch is disengaging and throwing a 0741 code only on long uphill grades on the interstate. AT fluid has regularly been changed with Subaru fluid, and I know its not overfilled. I did a drain/fill to inspect the fluid and it didn't look charred or anything. I changed the ATF oil pan about 40,000 mi ago due to excessive corrosion and I didn't note any wiring issues at that time. The fact that it's only failing on uphill grades suggests to me that either: 1. The duty B solenoid is getting weak and not supplying enough pressure to the lock up clutch. I see an aussie youtube video about this 2. Lock up clutch is bleeding off pressure somewherd. Is there anything else you think I can check for? I think i may try living with it for awhile, but want to prepare if this is gonna need a rebuild.
November 20, 20196 yr Pretty much what you said. You could check the pump pressure and see what it is. A friend of mine that has a transmission shop will check the pressure on some vehicles while driving it. Check the plug on the tranny harness for corrosion on the pins. Here is a good article on that code. https://www.700r4transmissionhq.com/p0741-subaru-forester/
