98CoupeV6,

Thank you for your reply. I am just trying to do everything I can to prolong the time before I spend ~$4,000 in repairs.

I would like to ask you a few other questions, if you don't mind answering them of course...

The Mitchell manual suggests checking the hydraulic pressure before checking the solenoids. I have checked the solenoids, since it is very easy, but the pressure... 1. I don't know where a pressure gauge output, and 2. What pressure is a normal one? Could you give me some guidance?

You said: "Maybe the previous owner did a few neutral drops the week before he got rid of the car." What does that mean (neutral drops)? Does that mean shifting to neutral while driving? Is that bad? Because I did it a few times going down the hill just to check my tires balance... :-(

Right now I am driving and do not feel any difference in shifting, and getting P0740 very consistently at cruise speeds, is it dangerous to drive the car in this condition? Or mechanically transm. is ok?

Thank you very much for taking time to answer me!
