Replying to: mopar360rt (Apr 02, 2007 7:39 pm) If you are suggesting that you want to install one of the newer automotic xmissions, be prepared to also reprogram the engine-computer -to- transmission computer communications. Modern automatic xmissions do most of their "thinking" insiside a computer to determine shift-points and other important stuff. In model-year 2000, the Dakota recieved a the Jeep 4.7L V8 which came with a new automatic xmission. Personally, I orderd mine V8 from the factory with the 5-speed manual and enjoy up to 21MPG with it. |

Replying to: mopar360rt (Apr 02, 2007 7:39 pm) Fortunately, Mopar engines have universal bellhousing-to-engine mounting configuration, so I'm pretty sure you won't have a problem bolting any truck manual up to that 360 engine. But extention shafts (tail stocks) vary in length depending on application. The Dakota in recent years used the 5-speed, NV3500 manual gear box. I'm sure you should be able to find one around that is out of a Dakota. A 5-speed out of a RAM will most likely be the heavy-duty version with wide-spaced gearing. I'm guessing that you really want the close-ratio version that came with the original Dakota R/T. Good luck, Dusty

Replying to: mopar360rt (Apr 03, 2007 4:20 pm) Since the factory shop manual only mentions the NV1500 and NV3500 manual xmsissions and the NV1500 was only used on the 4 cyl engine... I have to assume that the NV3500 was also used on the 360ci engine. You may want to do some more research if you want a xmission to handle 500 HP. There are some websites around that list virtually every xmission/engine combonation imaganable. THey also list recommende torque for each trannie. I hope that info helps you in your quest. |

Hopefully someone can help me. I have a 2003 Dodge Dakota. (6 cyl)(it's just a baby) It was driving just fine. Got ready to leave work, put it in drive, check engine light came on and it felt like I was taking off in 2nd gear. No get up and go. Took it and had the transmission completely flushed out. Had a mechanic test it and the codes came back 7612 & 7613. He said that it was the governer pressure solenoid/ governer transducer sensor that attach to the valve. He also mentioned that the voltage was too high or too low....WHAT?? Can someone please help me out here and let me know what is going on. Thanks

I just bought a 2003 Dakota with 3.9 L and auto trans. The shifting is very hard. I have had 2 engine lights with the code P1740. I have read some of the previous messages and this appears to be a common problem. What does the code mean, and what are the suggested fixes? Thanks Tony

Replying to: dodgindeb (Apr 04, 2007 3:46 pm) Next, I'd check all of the connectors at the transmission for corroded or damaged terminals. The codes are TCM codes. I would need more information in order to give you some idea what's going on. Regards, Dusty

Replying to: tonym5 (Apr 05, 2007 10:58 am) Are you sure of the code? My list says, "P1740 Automatic Transaxle (Acura, Honda)." Regards, Dusty |
