- 2001 Mountaineer, V8, AWD
01 mountaineer, V8 AWD. 264K miles. I believe it is the 4R70W tranz. The OD off light started blinking. Goodyear read the codes. P0741 and P1728. I have been studying up on 741. One post I read said to note the vehicles actions. At first I noticed no real change. However, it was mentioned to pay close attention to the shifts. Basically, do the RPMs drop slightly at a shift? So, the only one that does not is the last gear. Tuff to tell if it is 4 or 5. I always thought this car had 4.
That being said, another post mentioned that fluid and filter changing could help. also that all the solenoids come on valve body. If the sol has broken up, new fluid would be in order and of course a new sol. And the complete VB would be around $200. Does it seem I am heading in the right direction here, at least on this code? If code 2 is the death code, I will stop here. But if not, I figured dropping another $200 plus fluid and filter is not the end of the world.
Cause Good Year can only recommend complete replacement for $3500.
Comments welcome.
