Technical Bulletin #1506
6T70Torque Converter RemovalTorque converter lifting handles can be used as an alternative method for supporting the transmission assembly during repairs. Only install these handles until they stop. Do not tighten. Over tightening these handles can cause damage to the torque converter. Failure to raise the torque converter straight up could damage the torque converter clutch lip seal inside the torque converter clutch assembly.

A245EDTC P0741 (TCC Performance)2004-2005 Toyota CorollaJanuary, 2013
Technical Bulletin #1508
A245EDTC P0741 (TCC Performance)If you are working on a 2004-2005 Toyota Corolla, built prior to VIN #1NXBR3#E35Z369427, equipped with the 1ZZ-FE engine and an A245E transmission, you may encounter DTC P0741 (TCC perf) stored in the ECM.
This condition may be caused by an incorrect VSS drive gear in the transmission or an ECM calibration issue. First verify that the correct VSS drive gear and driven gears are installed in the transmission. The correct VSS drive gear is white in color and has 35 teeth (part # 33481-12040) and the driven gear is white in color and has 29 teeth (part # 33403-29395). The next step is to attempt to perform a TCC stall test. If the TCC is capable of stalling the engine during the stall test, suspect a possible internal ECM concern. Toyota has updated ECM’s to correct this concern (2004- parts #’s 89666-0230 & 89661-0Z09, 2005 –part #’s 89661-02C0 & 89661-02C3).
