P2757 on Honda by model: symptoms, diagnosis and fix
Second-generation Ridgelines with the 6-speed automatic (2017-2019, and the same 6AT family used in the Pilot and Odyssey) develop a shudder or judder that feels like driving over rumble strips during light-throttle cruise, typically 20-60 MPH when the torque converter clutch is slipping in its controlled-lockup mode. Honda's own TSBs 17-025 and 17-026 attribute it to ATF that degrades faster than expected because of intermittent high heat loads on the converter clutch. Owners report the judder returning after the first software-only attempt, which is why Honda issued the second bulletin covering vehicles that still judder after the update.
Common Symptoms
- Vibration or shudder during light acceleration at 20-60 MPH
- Feels like driving over rumble strips
- Judder worst at steady cruise or gentle uphill
- Temporarily better after a transmission fluid change
How to Fix
Per TSB 17-025, update the PCM/TCM software and drain-and-fill the transmission with Honda ATF DW-1 twice. Per TSB 17-026, if judder persists after the update, repeat the drain-and-fill three times. Honda extended the torque converter warranty to 8 years/150,000 miles on some Pilot/Ridgeline units - check coverage before paying. Owners who keep the truck long-term report doing a DW-1 drain-and-fill every 20,000-30,000 miles instead of the severe-service interval keeps the judder from returning. If the update plus fluid service fails, the torque converter itself is replaced.

Frequently asked questions
What does P2757 mean on a Honda?
P2757 stands for "Torque Converter Clutch Pressure Control Solenoid Control Circuit Performance/Stuck Off." This code means the torque converter clutch (TCC) pressure control solenoid is not performing correctly or is stuck in the off position, preventing proper lockup of the torque converter. The TCC normally locks the engine and transmission together at cruising speed to reduce slippage and heat. When it won't apply, you may notice slipping, reduced fuel economy, and elevated transmission fluid temperature. Sustained operation can overheat and degrade the transmission fluid, leading to internal damage. On Honda it is documented across 1 model: Ridgeline.
What are the most common causes of P2757?
The most common causes of P2757 are: Faulty TCC pressure control solenoid, Low or contaminated transmission fluid, Wiring or connector problems to the solenoid, Internal valve body fault / stuck valve, Worn torque converter clutch, Internal hydraulic pressure loss, Faulty transmission control module. The specific cause varies by vehicle.
How much does it cost to fix P2757 on a Honda?
Published repair estimates on Honda range from $150 to $2,500 depending on the model and root cause. If an issue mentions a recall or campaign, check your VIN with the manufacturer or NHTSA and confirm eligibility and coverage with a dealer.
