#641 of 692 Re: Difficulty shifting 2nd to 3rd [watsonl6251] by dmack88 Jul 24, 2009 (9:38 am)
Replying to: watsonl6251 (Jul 23, 2009 7:27 pm) You will have to go back to message 618 or so but some of those around there might be of help to you. There seem to be two things that you don't mention. The TPS (throttle position sensor) and the connector for solenoid A. Please check those earlier posts. Also I know some mechanics hate to have anyone add anything that says it stops leaks, but the Lucas oil transmission additive helps hard shifting. I got a bottle and it has helped a lot. It's only about $12 to $15 depending on where you get it.

My Truck was driving fine yesterday with no problems at all. I took it to a friends house last night and it was fine. When I left his house last night my check engine light came on as soon as I started my truck. I noticed that my truck seemed sluggish. I drove it anyway. When I had to come to a stop and then start again it seemed "okay" from 1st to 2nd but the transmission slipped from 2nd to 3rd. It did this all the way home (15 miles). It would slip and the engine would rev until it finally caught again and shifted to 3rd.   Today I took it out and drove it around 5-6 miles to get it hot to check the fluid. It wasn't slipping at all today but was very sluggish (especially when first starting) It seemed like it took forever to get up to speed. I took it to advance auto and got the code that it was throwing.   1762 The Governor Pressure Sensor input was too high or too low for 3 consecutive park/neutral calibrations.   I've had trouble with it before down shifting when the slightest bit of extra throttle was applied and when using the cruise control. I adjusted the throttle position cable going to the tranny and it worked fine after that.   Any suggestions would be much appreciated!   Thanks, Jeremy Replies to this message: jer7rob (Aug 01, 2009 3:41 pm)
#643 of 692 trans doesn't down shift by pbell26 Aug 01, 2009 (2:42 pm)
I have a 95 dakota with a 5.2 and automatic. I just bought it and the trans had just been rebuilt but the guy still had problems with it. I got it home and the throttle valve cable wasn't connected. So I put a new cable on it and changed the trans fluid because it looked dirty. Now it shifts fine but when you come to a stop it will not shift back into 1st by itself. You can do it manually but it won't do it by itself. Any help would be appreciated. Replies to this message: pbell26 (Aug 02, 2009 9:32 am) snowball2 (Sep 16, 2009 8:30 am)

#646 of 692 Re: looking for replacement tranny [hfcuda] by cmitter99 Aug 04, 2009 (10:39 am)
Replying to: hfcuda (Jul 18, 2009 8:54 pm) My 2006 Dodge Dakota Quad Cab 3.7L V6 just started doing something similar. The transmission light just came on and after some drive time the temp light comes on. I took it to AAMCO and they said that there were 5 different codes coming up and that it would probably cost about 1800 to fix. I was just wondering what you came up with because I have no idea what I am ging to do.

I have a 06 Dak quad cab 3.7L V6 automatic. I purchased it with about 20,000 miles. I now have 39,000 miles on it now and of course there is something wrong. When I first purchased the truck I noticed that it had some power issues. It didn't seem like it was running correctly at all. It had no power. Now, the check engine light is on and after a few miles of driving the temp light comes on. I took it to AAMCO and they said that 5 different codes were coming up and more than likely I need to replace the transmission. It doesn't feel like the transmission is slipping although I do see some hesitation with it going into gear when I first start it up. AAMCO wants to charge about $1,800 and I was wondering if there is something else I could try first. I mean, I don't abuse the thing at all! I run it pretty slow and I never mistreat the thing. i drive it to work and back on the interstate about 30 min a day..   Please Help!!!!!!!! Replies to this message: dmack88 (Aug 04, 2009 1:22 pm)

Replying to: cmitter99 (Aug 04, 2009 11:42 am) I checked with a repair place on the assumption that my problem is the TCM. They said that you would have to go to the dealer as they didn't think anyone else would have the flash drive to program the new TCM. The dealer said it would be $150 to install and program the new TCM. However when I asked about how much it costs they laughed because it's more than a good lap top. $880 Just for the TCM plus the $150 to install and program it. So no these problems aren't cheap. However your tranny should still be under warranty. It has less than 60,000.

Replying to: travis1488 (Jul 18, 2009 11:15 am) That usually means that the forward clutch pack was slipping and got so hot it welded itself together and cant release.If this is the case it should feel like its binding up in reverse unless the rear band is cooked also.It will also lurch forward in park if this is the problem.If its not the forward clutch stuck then there is a problem with the linkage.
#650 of 692 Re: Dakota shift solenoid problem? [pedm] by jetaway Aug 04, 2009 (6:39 pm)
Replying to: pedm (Jul 07, 2009 12:29 pm) There are 3 solinoids in your transmission .A governor pressure solinoid a overdrive cancel solinoid and a lockup solinoid {TCC}.The only one that is considered a shift solinoid would be the overdrive cancel.That would explain why you have no 4th but has nothing to do with first.It seems from reading your post that you have no 1st gear "The trans will only operate in 2nd and 3rd".High gear starts usually is a bad governor pressure solinoid.No upshift from first is usually a governor pressure sensor.As far as changing the plug it comes as one piece with the internal wire harness and the overdrive cancel and TCC solinoid.It is not very hard to replace.First you drop the valve body.You may have to turn the drive shaft slightly to remove thr park pawl shaft{and to reinstall it}I have found its easier to leave the park rod on the valve body rather than try to mess with the E clip holding it on.Once the valve body is down you will need a 25 torx bit to remove the internal harness assembaly.
