Just for the heck of it, I cleared the codes. Today on the way back from work, the CEL went off again. Now it reads P0171, system too lean, bank 1 and P0174, system too lean bank 2.

And now the tranny is shifing rough and it's picking up a P1744, Torque converter clutch solenoid circuit performance. Is this serious enough that it will require a new tranny?

I really wanted to keep this for my stepson but I'm beginning to think it's not worth it. Any ideas on what the problem is?
