I have a 1994 Dodge Dakota V8. I was wondering where the transmission overdrive solenoid is physically located on the truck.   Thanks

Replying to: sjbrush (Nov 24, 2007 8:41 am) Hi, It's me again. I went out to the garage and checked the bottle again. I used one half the bottle which is only a 12 oz. bottle so it means that I used the correct 6 0z. amount. The reason the original message said 16oz. is because I new I used half but thought the bottle was 32 oz. Good luck and let me know how you make out.
#276 of 399 Problems with transmission shifting at a stop by bzeiher Nov 27, 2007 (2:53 pm)
I have a 2000 dodge dakota 4 door with 4.7 V8 4WD. the problem is when coming to a stop, the transmission wants to shift to second gear and it stalls out the truck. After reading symptoms from other entries from this site I changed out my TPS sensor (From Napa parts). But it did not solve my problems   HEEELLLPPP!!!!   Bill Replies to this message: bpeebles (Nov 28, 2007 8:06 pm) bzeiher (Nov 29, 2007 8:42 am) bpeebles (Nov 29, 2007 8:03 pm) and 1 more...

Replying to: bzeiher (Nov 27, 2007 2:53 pm) Perhaps the speed-sensor screwed into the rear differential is not sending the proper signals to the computer? (telling it to shift) Replies to this message: bzeiher (Nov 29, 2007 8:42 am) bpeebles (Nov 29, 2007 8:03 pm) bzeiher (Dec 16, 2007 1:53 pm)
#278 of 399 2003 Dakota trans problem by tonym5 Nov 29, 2007 (6:06 am)
I have a question about the truck's performance. If I am climbing a steep hill, the transmission downshifts but on occasion it slips out of gear and the engine rpms increase. As I decrease the throttle, the transmission goes back into gear and performs normally. There are no engine lights or codes. This happens only a few times. Is this a normal situation? Is it some type of safety feature? As is in the past, thanks for your help. The information given on this forum is very useful.

Replying to: bpeebles (Nov 28, 2007 8:06 pm) WOW,, how many different sensors are related to shifting? I thought it would have stopped with TPS and transmission sensors. I have not changed the Transmission input and output sensors. should I consider that as well? Replies to this message: bpeebles (Nov 29, 2007 8:03 pm) bzeiher (Dec 16, 2007 1:53 pm)
#280 of 399 shifting from first to second by eddiekoko Nov 29, 2007 (5:19 pm)
i own a 2001 dakota with a 3.9 v-6 and my problem is this,,,while coasting to a stop or just driving slow in heavy traffic my tranny starts to jump hard from 1st to 2nd gear repeatedly. also when starting out from a dead stop the truck acts like it wants to stall and backfires. i have 100,000 miles on this truck and never before have i had any kind of problem. both of these problems just started 3 days ago and i don't drive it till it's fixed. sure miss my truck!!!

Replying to: bzeiher (Nov 29, 2007 8:42 am) The number of sensors related to shifting are perhaps too many to count. Not only are the obvious sensors like ThrottlePosition and Speed sensors. But there are a myriad of hydrolic sensors within the xmission itself. (plus inputshaft speed sensor)   BTW: One reason that the roadSpeed sensor is mounted within in the rear differential is because it also serves as the xmission output speed sensor.   There is a sensor under the battery to determine ambient (air) temp. The temparature of the engine and several other engine sensors are also considerd in the shift algorythim.   Also, the engine computer can "calculate" things like engine torque and reprogram the xmission shift points based on instantanious calculations.   What does all the above mean to you..... DO NOT TRY TO FIX A PROBLEM BY BLINDLY REPLACING SENSORS! In the trade, this is known as "shotgunning" a problem. (And run fast from any "mechanic" who wants to shotgun your problem with this tecnique at your expense.) Replies to this message: bzeiher (Dec 16, 2007 1:53 pm)
#282 of 399 Automatic Transmission Stuck In Park by colkd2002 Dec 02, 2007 (9:10 am)
I have a 2002 Dakota Sport Quad Cab. 4.7 L V8 Automatic with 108,000 miles. Lately I have been having problems with the truck getting stuck in park. When I start the truck, I can't get it to shift out of park. If I take out the Trans Pos Ind Fuse(Fuse #8) and put it back in then it will sometimes switch over to neutral and then back to park. If I time it right then I can get it out of park. After I manage to get it out of park it will shift through every gear including park until I shut the truck off. Then it will do it all over again. Any Ideas?
