LEAKING TRANSMISSION FLUID, TRANSMISSION SLIPS AND WON'T REALLY ENGAGE AT TIMES. WHEN I STOP MY CAR MY IT STARTS STUTTERS AND THEN IT JERKS WHILE ACCELERATING. MY TRANSMISSION POPS IN AND OUT OF GEAR. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. WHEN I TURN THE CORNER MY CAR BASICALLY STOPS. I HAVE 2 CODES ON MY VEHICLE P0740 THE TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH SOLENOID VALVE IS ACTIVATED, WITH THE GEAR IN D4, BY THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE (TCM) IN RESPONSE TO SIGNALS SENT FROM THE VEHICLE SPEED AND THE ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (ECM). LOCK-UP PISTON OPERATION WILL THEN BE CONTROLLED. WHEN THE TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH SOLENOID VALVE IS ACTIVATED, THE TORQUE CONVERTER LOCKUP CLUTCH WILL ENGAGE CREATING A 1 TO 1 RPM RATIO BETWEEN THE TRANSMISSION INPUT SHAFT AND THE ROTATIONAL SPEED OF THE TORQUE CONVERTER. LOCK-UP OPERATION, HOWEVER, IS PROHIBITED WHEN A/T FLUID TEMPERATURE IS TOO LOW. WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL IS DEPRESSED (LESS THAN 2/8) IN LOCK-UP CONDITION, THE ENGINE SPEED SHOULD NOT CHANGE ABRUPTLY. IF THERE IS A BIG JUMP IN ENGINE SPEED, THERE IS NO LOCK-UP. THEN THE OTHER IS P0700 THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE (TCM) MONITORS THE MALFUNCTION OF SENSORS AND ACTUATORS RELATING TO TRANSMISSION CONTROL. WHEN THE TCM DETECTS A MALFUNCTION WITH THE CONTROL, A SIGNAL IS SEND TO THE ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (ECM) TO TRIGGER THE ENGINE LIGHT OR SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT. THE ECM STORES THE P0700 CODE AND IT MEANS THE TCM DETECTED A MALFUNCTION WITH THE TRANSMISSION CONTROLS. *TR
