RockAuto didn't list the upper tube on their website so I called them and they only carry the one for the na 3800 not the supercharged models. I guess I'll put in a request in the wanted section. Any ideas?

Hi,

I have the p0740 too. I wanted to know if you could finally get rid of the code?
My car is a '95 riviera */c.
Thanks!

No, not yet. I still haven't fixed the leak in the egr tube but hopefully I will get that done tomorrow. One possibility is the valve body in the tranny. I haven't taken it to a transmission shop for diagnosis but some people have had success with valve body kits.

I gather this may be the fix
Sonnax Transmission, Torque Converter, Performance, Driveline Parts :: Transmission :: 84754-97K :: Part Summary
I would try installing an aux tranny cooler to try and fix the issue before that...

The part that Johnd89 mentioned probably won't help you. That valve controls the on off function for the tcc. Your tcc is turning on. The problem is low apply pressure for the clutch. This is the part that would most likely help you.
Sonnax Transmission, Torque Converter, Performance, Driveline Parts :: Transmission :: 84754-01K :: Part Summary
This valve has extreme wear since it constantly buzzes in the bore while tcc is engaged. The other valve just clunks back and forth for engagement and disengagement.
I do not recommend going into the valvebody unless you have experience working on trannies. I have seen many people in the trade make mistakes.
But if you do try, Make sure you have new valvebody gaskets ready. And don't lose any of the check balls that will fall out.

No problem, glad to help. I am a transmission rebuilder, so feel free to ask if you have any questions.
