    PCM P0741:00 Torque Converter Clutch Solenoid Circuit Performance/Stuck Off: No Sub Type Information The PCM detected ratio errors 4 times either in or while shifting to first gear. The ratio error did not last long enough for the PCM to isolate the fault to a specific clutch. The logic disabled first gear for the remainder of the current key cycle the fault occurred in.
