we--ll, no because the code indicated has not been addressed and wont be addressed by a fluid/filter change.
The code 743 is the converter clutch electrical failure.
This is not related to fluid. It is electrical.
The computer operates the clutch, as such, registers the code because it monitors the electrical 'current' signiture.
If the computer does not see the correct action, it is logiced a failure and you see/feel the resulting operational failure.
A trans shop is you next stop to address the code and not guess about it.
Good luck.
