#583 of 692 Re: '97 Dakota PO783 fault code [slade25] by dustyk Apr 04, 2009 (5:31 am)
Replying to: slade25 (Apr 02, 2009 9:59 am) The P0783 is a 3-4 Shift Malfunction, which by itself doesn't tell us much. Possibilities:   *Overdrive switch circuit malfunction. Intermittent switch or bad connection in overdrive electrical circuit.   *Coolant temperature sensor defective.   *Throttle Position Sensor irratic/intermittent   *Rear Wheel Speed Sensor defective.   *Low hydraulic pressure: clogged filter or cooling lines. Intermittent governor operation.   *Overdrive Solenoid weak or intermittent connection/short in circuit.   *Sticking/binding 3-4 Shift Valve in valve body. Valve body dirty.   *Overdrive Piston sticking, leaky piston seal.   *Overdrive Clutch worn or is close to failure   *PCM problem or bad connections to PCM   Remove the electrical connectors to the transmission and check for signs of moisture, corrosion, or bent terminals. Check the electrical ground path from the transmission to the body. There should be less tha 0.5 ohms of DC resistance.   Regards, Dusty
#584 of 692 Noise At Front of Transmission by billythekid21 Apr 05, 2009 (11:22 am)
I am experiencing a loud rattling noise at the front of the transmission when in park, reverse, neutral, or drive. Also, when trying to drive the truck I have to really step on the gas and rush the motor to start the wheels moving. Once moving, the truck slips in and out of gear with me. Any ideas?   Thanks Replies to this message: dustyk (Apr 11, 2009 9:13 am) billythekid21 (Apr 13, 2009 5:16 pm)

Replying to: billythekid21 (Apr 05, 2009 11:22 am) Is this vehicle a Dakota? What year, what engine do you have and how many miles on the vehicle?   Regards, Dusty Replies to this message: billythekid21 (Apr 13, 2009 5:16 pm)

#589 of 692 Transmission options by travelintoolbx Apr 14, 2009 (10:45 pm)
I have a 97 5.2l 4sp auto. This is the second time the tranny. has gone out. What other options do I have for swapping out this transmission? Maybe from a durango, or Ram, or even a R/T. Surely the R/T transmissions would be stronger.. Any help would be greatly appreciated.. Replies to this message: dustyk (Apr 19, 2009 7:21 am)
#590 of 692 My truck won't shift out of park by dakotaluke Apr 18, 2009 (5:56 am)
I need someone's help! My 2006 Dakota Quad Cab is starting to not shift out of park when I want to leave. At first I thought it was my floor mat getting stuck up by my pedal because I would move it and then it would shift. But, now that doesn't work. This morning I was stuck at a gas station until I could get it to work. It varies everyday, one day it will do it, the next day it won't. Can anyone help me??? Is there a "CHEAP" fix to this?

Replying to: dakotaluke (Apr 18, 2009 5:56 am) I have a 2005 Dakota 4 door that has recently started doing something similar, although not badly enough to strand me. It started being sluggish going into reverse a couple weeks ago, taking a couple seconds to "go". After being parked for a couple weeks while I was away on business, it gave the same trouble today going into drive after it was driven earlier in the day. It has 39000 original miles on it. So I am not sure what is up. Anyone have any advice?

Replying to: travelintoolbx (Apr 14, 2009 10:45 pm) Well, this is where my memory starts to fail me, and Chrysler started changing their transmission nomenclature, but in 1997 I think the 45RE was used behind two-wheel Dakota versions of the 318 (could have been 30THs also, or what use to be the A904, then A500). In that case the 360 always got the 46RE, I'm pretty sure. The 46RE has heavier gear train architecture, one more set of clutches and one more set of pinions in the planetary gearsets, if by that you mean "stronger."   Regards, Dusty
