My transmission is not engaging in 4th gear. It slips from 2nd to 3rd gear. The shifts are also prolonged.

I went to Autozone and they pulled 2 codes. They are:
P0744- The PCM has determined that the voltage signal from the torque converter clutch is intermittent.

P0745- The PCM has determined that a malfunction exists in the electrical circuit for pressure control solenoid "A."

From these codes (pulled a month ago), I decided to replaced the solenoid pack. I drove it for 2 miles and the problem was still there.

Last night, I removed the pan and VB again(3rd time). There are metal shavings in the fluid. The thing is, I replaced 6 quarts during the solenoid swap. I have only put 300 miles on it since the solenoid pack swap.

I am shipping out my VB to maximumtuning today. Do you think it's a faulty VB that is causing the problem? If the rebuilt VB doesn't fix the problem, I am going to do a 6-speed conversion.

Thanks beforehand for the help, guys.

6 speed conversion?! Didn't think that was possible for the 5.5 gen.

It is possible, only a couple people have done it. Its alot of work the motor is mounted differently 6spd v auto.

its possible, but people are saying that its gonna cost alot.

vsamoylov

what? where did you get that info from? please stop spreading false info because that is not true.

van i am going to look at what fsm says about it. indication of shavings is not a good thing especially if there is alot of them. hit me up on aim and i can send you all the info.

vsamoylov

ok van hope this helps you man.

first is your at light on?
code 744 is not a electrical code but a mechanical code. it could be numerous mecahnical things.
code 745 is a line pressure solinoid valve.

so hit me up on aim and i will send you the info on how to test it. most likely its your solenoids that are causing your codes and locking up your torque convertor.

Post a link saying that it does. You can see that it isn't mounted the same by just looking at it...

vsamoylov

go read up on the car you drive man.

Thanks for everything so far, guys. That's the thing. I replaced the solenoid packs to no avail. My only option is to rebuild the VB. If that doesn't work, the only solution is to do a 6-speed conversion.

Mass Media- are the mounts two seperate pieces for an auto and manual? If so, is there a way to use the top of the automatic transmission mount with the bottom bracket of the manual mount? This is just an assumption, but I don't think Nissan will weld on different mounting points for an auto vs. a manual.

vsamoylov

wrong person to ask van. the auto mount is welded to the frame while the 6 speed mount is bolted to the frame. so basically all you do is get rid of the old mount and drill 2 holes that secure the mount to the frame and you are all set.

Simple enough. Thanks.

I hate people spreading rumors about things they absolutely have no idea about. The 6 Speed swap is not difficult.....

I've been having a problem like that, and someone told me it could be the fuel filter.
