Default P0744

I recently bought an 06 maxima with 125,000 miles. It had the transmission rebuilt about 15k ago. Within the first 200 miles the check engine light came on and when I put my scanner on it p0744 showed up, which is Torque Converter Clutch Circuit Intermittent, it also puts the car into limp or safe mode when the light comes on. That's the only code and it seems to shift and perform normally until the cel comes back on. When you clear the code you can drive it with no problems for 200 miles or more. The code for the transmission on the identification sticker on the drivers side door jam shows the transmission code as RS5F51A, from what I can tell that is a code for a manual transmission, I assumed this year's model of car with a 5 speed automatic would have the RE5F22A transmission. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

From the factory service manual:

Quote:
This malfunction is detected when the torque converter clutch does not lock up as instructed by the TCM.
This is not caused by electrical malfunction (circuits open or shorted) but by mechanical malfunction such
as control valve sticking, improper solenoid valve operation, malfunctioning oil pump or torque converter
clutch, etc.
You should start by checking the transmission fluid level and condition. If the fluid is OK, then the next step is to tear down the transmission and inspect the solenoids.

What is the warranty on the transmission?

It had a 12 month/12k warranty which has expired. The fluid level is full and no burned smell. From the research I've done it sounds like it's in the valve body. I was considering one of the transgo kits.
