Default p2761

what could cause to to get thrown, why TC seems VERY loose to for what its worth.

Threw the code on the way to a wedding, and then the trans was getting pretty hot

Does it feel like the transmission is stuck in 3rd gear? The ignition switch is a common failure for this code.

yea, and its sucking the crap outta my gas.... then again its a modded 6.0, lol.

It bugs me that the RPM's sit so high. 65 sits @2300 cruising and tap the gas it jumps to 2700-2800.

The TC seems to be bouncing out of lock-up to. So how would I go about fixing this?

thanks

If the problem is what MrGoodwrench3 mentioned, then replacing the ignition switch will solve your issue

Very nice, hopefully that will help extend the life of your trans so you have one less thing to worry about

sorry its been awhile since I've been on here, but not really. The Ignition switch actually crapped out on me totally so i replaced it and the code has stayed there. When it gets warmer out I have to run over all the grounds to make sure they have a good connection, because I have a huge draw in power when running many accessories. Or it could be the battery.... not sure
