#589 of 690 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 690 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

#594 of 690 Trans surge/slip? between 2-3 shift by gene_c Apr 20, 2009 (12:57 pm)
Hi folks!   My first post here. So bear with me. I just bought a used 1999 Dakota 4x4 5.2L 4speed OD tranny. Everything works fine, but there is (I'll try to describe it as best I can). A slipping or surge feeling(engine revs pick up). I think it happpens with the 2-3 shift, but its about 2-3 seconds AFTER the 1-2 shift. It only happens after a dead stop, never after downshifting while driving around... Only after a complete stop and every time.. The truck has 147K miles, and is in generally very good shape, and well cared for. The trans fluid is full. The truck had been sitting unused for about two months.. I have only driven it a little... The guy who sold it to me is a mechanic, and a pretty good one, but no auto trans expert... He thinks its because it was sitting for a couple of months, and wants me to just drive it a few days to see if it changes.. He then suggests he change the fluid, and filter... He is very accomodating at helping me fix this, but is short of ideas.. Can you suggest anything I can tell him to try?   Thanks Much Gene C Replies to this message: gene_c (Apr 20, 2009 3:18 pm)

Replying to: gene_c (Apr 20, 2009 12:57 pm) I am just learning how to use this forum. And decided after reading a bit to use the SEARCH function.... I did learn some..   I think what I have been trying to describe in my earlier post was a "FLAIR"? in the 2-3 shift? Am I correct in that it is a Flair?   It seems that my mechanic friends recommendation of a fluid and filter change is a first right step.. (I will be sure to tell him to use ATF+3 not the Dexron-Mercon stuff that seems "evil".   Also he should check the TPS? Also (as Dusty suggested in another post) QUOTE: A number of things can cause a 2-3 flair on a 42RE, burnt clutches, sticky servo, bands out-of-adjustment, clogged valve body, TPS (Throttle Positioning Sensor) or sticking shift solenoids, just to name a few.   I do not know if my trans is the 42RE mine is a 99 4x4 5.2L?   Am I on the right track.? Any other things to check?   Thanks Gene

Replying to: dge330 (Apr 19, 2009 4:33 pm) Sorry for the late response. Computer problems here.   P0203 Injector Circuit Malfunction - Cylinder 3   Are you feeling an engine roughness or what feels like a cylinder dropping out? Fuel consumption higher? If so, could be the injector at cylinder three. If you're not noticing anything, check for a bad connections at the injector and the PCM (intermittent).   Regards, Dusty Dusty

Replying to: 88dakota (Apr 24, 2009 8:36 pm) On six cylinder motors the transmissions are the same between 2wd and 4wd. On some V8s, the 2wd drive transmissions are 45RHs, and the 4wds are 46RHs.   If you feel comfortable tackling a rebuild yourself, I wouldn't talk you out of it. Since this is your vehicle the motivation is higher to do a quality job...usually. If you're the impatient type or not fussy, I'd advise against. If you lack the proper tools or knowlege, I'd advise against. If you are particular and like to perform extra clean reassembly, go for it.   Inspect components carefully and replace suspected parts, even those that don't come it the kit. Use a good quality kit. I have found the factory kits are better quality. I'd advise strongly to avoid the off-shore rebuilding kits.   Best regards, Dusty
