Just had the Miggy to the Garage re code P0743 Torque Converter Clutch (TCC) Solenoid Circuit. Its either the solonoid or the converter. Now the dilemma is the Solonoid is £250 and there is the chance that it will not clear the problem as it could be the converter itself which will be £600 as the gearbox comes out. So the Dilemma is do I get rid of my beloved miggy just now, do I pay £250 and keep my fingers crossed. Definently cannor afford £600 as I just spent over £500 for a new head in January.

Maybe someone on here breaking one could supply a solenoid cheaper :-/
-
I can't speak for the solenoid, but the converter is a doddle to swap, and you will find a breaker on here who has one.

would be cheaper to source a known good second hand box tbh. :y

Does gearbox have to be dropped

Would a garage not charge me a few Hundered pound to change gearbox plus the price I would have to pay for a 2nd hand one?

Anyone know how easily it is to get to the solonoid?
-
I have no personal experience but im sure they solenoids can be seen and changed with the g/b sumps off :-/
-
Cheers. Anyone confirm

How? If you dont mind me asking

Looks like the Converter Solenoid Valve is located in the valve block in the front sump, also budget for a fliter and fluid change while your there
The Converter Solenoid, 96014183 isn't available from Vauxhall Stock in the UK but is available on a Non Stock order from Opel which takes 7-10 working days
Trade price for the Solenoid is £73.94 + VAT

The boxes on the Omega are generally a lot easier to sort out because they are rear wheel drive and so dont have drive shafts comin out of them...probably a 2 man job though as the box itself is quite heavy to lift back into place...not got experience of a 2.2 but I would agree it should be pretty easy to do yourself...

The gearbox has to be removed, but then the TC is simply lifted out & replaced. as said, best to do a fluid change while you are at it. A second hand gearbox is a good option too, but will still take the same amount of time, plus transport costs.
