Trying to help a co-worker with her vehicle problem.

She said the transmission is acting up, I haven't driven it so I'm not really sure what it's doing.

It has a CEL, so I pulled the code and got a P0741. Did a little searching, but also wanted to ask here.

Next I need to check the fluid level. If that's okay, should I change it? Ad some Lucas? Or does it need a clutch solenoid?

Thanks
 
i think your asking too early,you should drive it and check all fluids including oil,maybe check her tire pressure as a favor to her, being owned by a female the car might not have been maintainted
 
agree, check things out first staying objective in your trouble shooting.

a low transmission fluid level or dirty transmission fluid can cause the po741 as well as a shifting issue she may be noticing.

as you have many posts here, i am sure you know how to check the transmsision fluid while car is warm and on a level surface.

good luck and post back if you have any resolution so that we may all learn.
