P0741, Transmission Overheating, the likes
Howdy, Gentlemen.
I've got a 2013 Outlander Sport, and I guess I'm not allowed to have an easy life after my nissan caught on fire, because this thing is having transmission issues.
Ever since the first time it decided to flash the transmission overheat warning, I've learned how to keep it happy by not going above 70, keeping the RPMs around 2.3-3, accelerate downhill, and to hate my life when going uphill. However, I need it to stop.
When I got the code read, it was a P0741 with it saying "Stuck Off". This article mentioned a few things that could be wrong, and explained that the stuck off notes that it could be a wiring issue.
I looked on rockauto, found this TCC solenoid, but before I drop some cash on this, I'd like to know if anyone else has had this issue, and what you had to do to fix it. Was it a simple fix like a TCC solenoid? Was it the wiring? Or is it something more serious, with me needing to drop 1500 on a whole PCM replacment?
Appreciate any help that may come my way, I'm not too familiar with Mitsubishi yet.

Welcome to the forum!
The article you were referring to, I am afraid, is not applicable for your CVT equipped Outlander Sport. It is relevant to conventional automatic transmission found in Outlanders equipped with the V6 engine only.
The CVT transmission fluid in your vehicle must be changed (different methods exist see the link below and references therein) periodically according to the service manual depending on your location (climate (extreme cold or hot) and driving routine (short trips only vs normal use). These will define whether you have to follow regular or severe maintenance intervals. It is likely that your fluid needs to be replaced.
You might want to read this thread and this first to familiarize with the procedure. Make sure to use ONLY the Diaqueen CVT -J4 fluid when you go for a replacement. NO SUBSTITUTE or your troubles will never end.
Good luck.
