#146 of 687 Re: 98 Dakota, 3.9L slow to shift from 1st to 2nd [dervin1] by dustyk Apr 13, 2007 (5:29 am)
Replying to: dervin1 (Apr 11, 2007 10:50 am) 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

Replying to: angel16 (Apr 18, 2007 10:12 pm) 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)

#152 of 687 2001 Dakota transmission trouble by dodgelegen Apr 10, 2007 (5:49 pm)
#153 of 687 2001 Dakota transmission trouble by dodgelegen Apr 10, 2007 (2:03 pm)
I have a 2001 Dakota 4X4, 4.7L, 45RFE transmission. My check engine light came on while driving and I noticed that the transmission had dropped out of overdrive. When I started off from a stop I noticed that the transmission had not downshifted, and that it was trying to start out in third gear. I now have to manually shift and only have 2 and 3 gears forward and reverse. I checked the codes and it gave me a P0700 code. This code only says Transmission Control Module. I purchased a TCM, at a cost of $800.00. I installed the unit, with battery cables off. I still don't have any shifting of the transmission. Is there something else that P0700 means?

Replying to: dodgelegen (Apr 10, 2007 2:03 pm) According to my list a P0700 is "Transmission Control System Malfunction."   The first thing you should check are all fuses, both at the instrument panel and the Power Distribution Center (PDC) that's adajcent to the vehicle battery. In particular, an open IOD fuse will cause the transmission to go into Limp Mode. Starting in second or third gear is symptomatic of the transmission being in Limp Mode.   On Chryslers especially, the next thing to check is the electrical connectors at the transmission. Your vehicle is old enough to have developed corroded terminals at the connectors. An open Governor or Shift Solenoid circuits can cause this problem.   The only component quality problem that I'm aware of on early 545RFE transmissions were bent accumulator plates. Chrysler fixed this problem soon after the 545RFE was introduced, but depending on when the vehicle was manufacturered your 2001 may have an early version.   Regards, Dusty
#155 of 687 2003 dakota shift indicator by tonym5 May 13, 2007 (3:13 am)
The indicator for my auto trans does not highlight the "P" when I shift into Park. As a result, the truck won't start since it appears the trans is not in Park. If I push hard on the shift lever, the Park will highlight. Is there an adjustment to the linkage to allow it to go into Park easily Thanks for your past help. It saved me a lot of money.
