This DTC indicates the off-going clutch being controlled by solenoid "A" is not releasing or is slow to release. This could indicate a leak or obstruction in a specific clutch apply circuit. Check scan tool failure record data for previous or current gear range information when the DTC was set to determine the specific shift when the DTC was set. Refer to appropriate solenoid and clutch chart to determine which clutch circuit is suspect. See CLUTCH & SOLENOID APPLICATIONS under TROUBLE SHOOTING.

Clutch failure due to installation of an engine power upgrade is not covered under the manufacturer's warranty. Inspect for the presence of an add-on engine power package. When engine horsepower or torque is increased over factory rating, a shift flare condition may occur.
