Figured I might as well include these. P0729 with another DTC indicates a solenoid. It doesn’t note my lack of engine braking but since gears 2 and 6 share a planetary gear and the B2 brake (clutch) handles 2nd gear braking and 6th gear engagement it seems likely they’re the same solenoid.
Now the bad news is that the second code, P2714, implies “if you drive it like this for 350 miles from Silverton to Golden you probably should expect what is possibly a solenoid problem to burn out your transmission clutches due to low trans oil pressure.”
So Slee’s recommendation makes sense. Not sure I could’ve saved the transmission by having it towed anyway, nevermind the $1500 quote from the towing shop in Silverton to do so.
I think mostly I’m disappointed it’s not just a valve body replacement because I was hoping this would be an excuse to upgrade to the Nomad heavy duty one.
