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 My list is either incorrect or out of date.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

98 Dakota, 3.9L slow to shift from 1st to 2nd by dervin1

My dakota just started to delay in shifting from 1st to 2nd gears. The RPMs have to get to 2500-3000, the speedometer isn't working until the RPMs get to around 3000, then it shifts into 2nd gear and the speedometer starts working. No other shifting problems, no slipping. Brake light is on, ABS light and check engine light too.
Any suggestions on what it needs? Speed sensor?
Thanks,
Dave

The speedometer symptom is the key. You probably have a defective Rear Wheel Speed Sensor or corroded terminals at the sensor's connector. This sensor supplies an input signal that is used to operate the speedometer as well as determine transmission shifting pattern.
 
This sensor is located on the rear differential housing and is replaceable without removing the differential cover. It is mounted the outside of the housing with one bolt.
 
Best regards,
Dusty

I have put three transfer cases in my Dodge in one year. I can't figure out what the problem is with my truck. I am getting ready to buy another transfer case for it again. Can someone please help me with this problem I am having or tell me what I can do about it?
 
Thank very Much,

Can you please give us more details like:
*)Which xfer case does your truck have (the 2000 model-year was supplied with at least 2 different ones)
*)Why are you replacing the xfer cases so frequently? (Should easilly last the life of the vehicle because you should be in 2wheel drive mode 99% of the time)

Had you heard any strange noises from the truck recently?
 
How many miles on the vehicle?
 
Regards,
Dusty
