TCC Solenoid replacement

[JLT1787]

Can anyone help on this, looking to replace the TCC and other shift solenoids while I have the tranny 'side pan' off. Problem is, what's the easiest way to get the cover off and access these solenoids? Thanks.

When you get it figured out please post. My TCC is on it's way out methinks.

There is a thread on the TCCA. I think a search will find many other threads on it.

Link does not work anymore to the TCCA but this is the best one I can remember.

Is my memory correct in that the torque converter won't lock with a/c on?

Get a rebuilt valve body off ebay and order the teflon seals for the pump shaft this should fix ya up. A failing tcc solenoid will not cause a p1744. P1744 is a mechanical problem. Make sure you remove the mlp sensor when you remove the side cover, don't break it like i did.

Stock the TCC will cycle when the AC is on. I have a rebuilt SHO valve body and SHO gasket if you're interested.

Thanks. I'll keep it in mind Paul. I might need another tranny at this point. I have to investigate if it's just torque lockup or if it's missing during operation. Over 188k on the original right now.
