Code P2789 this means the clutch is slipping and it needs to be replaced here are the instruction to do so in the images below. Clear the codes once the job is complete. Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.

I bought the car. It drives, engine smooth but has these codes and no check engine light. Deleted the codes only one back for now is p1575. Would any of these affect throttle for someone to think transmission is not responding? Because I am looking for that first transmission code i sent you and it's not there.

These cars are very temperamental so the transmission can be affected.

p1741 code is Torque Converter Clutch Solenoid harness is open or shorted, so this is a transmission related code as well which can be the TCM.

Here are the transmission control module wiring diagrams for the different transmissions. I would turn the key one and check the fuses in the diagrams for power. Let me know what you come up with.
