With all of the trans experts already here, I'd like to share my similar problem with my 2000 Winny, 3.8l, 140k. I suspect I'm having problems with the TCC as the van is stalling when coming to a stop, hunting, harsh shifts, and just recently got the codes P1741 and P0741. I'm trying to decide between several possible options and anything you folks can add. Irregardless, I will do a fluid flush and new filter and fluid. First, I could just replace the one or all five solenoids, which is the least I would do. Second, I could replace the five solenoids and rebuild the valve body. Third, I could get for a very reasonable amount of money on ebay a fully rebuilt valve body with all new solenoids for about the cost of a set of the five solenoids and a valve body rebuild kit. The only problem with this method is having to remove the valve body in a tight space with a lot of bolts, though the valve body may also have to come off if I rebuilt it. I understand that if there is debris, especially metal in the bottom pan, the valve body should be rebuilt. Yes? Anything else?

Lastly, any tips on gaining access to the cover and making the repairs? I've seen and read about getting at the cover without removing the trans.
Thanks
