The 5-speed manual xmission in my 2000 Dak with 4,7L v8 is the New Venture 3500 (aka NV3500)
 
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.

2003 Dakota Transmission Problems by dodgindeb

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

The first thing I would advise is checking the fuses located on the left side of the instrument panel. An open IOD fuse will cause the transmission to go into Limp Mode, which on the 42RE transmission means it will try to start a vehicle launch in second gear.
 
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.

Dusty

Tony,
 
Are you sure of the code? My list says, "P1740 Automatic Transaxle (Acura, Honda)."

Thanks Guys
I had a mechanic tell me that it is the overdrive sensor. Approx $180 for the part a 3 hrs labor. My question is if that will solve the hard shifting and the fact that I have to ease off the gas pedal to shift? Is there anything else the mechanic should do while he is in there other than replace the filter? Thanks for your help thus far
Regards,
Tony

Overdrive Sensor? Did he mean the Overdrive Solenoid?
 
On the 42RE hard shifts can be caused by the Lockup Solenoid. This is a valve body repair and can be done without removing the transmission from the vehicle. The Pressure Regulator Solenoid could also be malfunctioning, or you have a dragging Front Band, although that's very rare. (usually the Band Apply levers get bent causing slipping.)
 
Sorry about steering you wrong on the P1740 code. My list is either incorrect or out of date.
 
Regards,
Dusty
