Hi

My Honda Accord 1999/112k Miles, check engine line came on.

Diagnostics shows error code 740.

I took it to aamco and they changed one of the solenoid's but after
few hundred mile the same error code is back(740). does any one has
idea what needs to be done.

Any suggestions??

For starters, don't go back to AAMCO under any circumstance. If they put
any tranny fluid in it, book it into a Honda dealer and get them to do a
drain-n-fill with Honda fluid (or do it yourself, twice) Code might go
away and stay away with a change of the correct fluid. Does it shift
HARDER than before, by chance?

Take a look at some of the tranny TSB's at tegger.com for insight to
some problems that your model has had . . . There might have been a
warranty on it, (until AAMCO got involved) for all we know.

The problem is that it works fine in D4 and Reverse gear but
in D2 and D3 it stops after few minutes.

Please report the *actual* error code. "740" is not a valid OBD-II code.

Is it P0740, or does it begin with something other than P-zero?

Probably nothing there relevant to the OP.

P0740, (if that's the actual error code here), means:
P0740 Problem in Lock-up Control System

P1740 is:
P1740 Problem in 4th Clutch Pressure Switch Circuit
