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.

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.

2002 dodge dakota with 4.7 auto. Just recently the torque converter has started to unlock and lock once the truck is warmed up and driving at a smooth crusing speed. The tack will jump from about 1800 to 1900 . I have found lots of people with the excat same simptoms, but have not found any answers. Can someone help? Thanks.

Replying to: jmason13171 (Aug 16, 2009 5:20 pm) Turn your ignition switch on and off 3 times and on the 3rd leave it on. Look at your odometer and see what code it says is the reason your check engine light is on.   For me it was 1762 - Governor Pressure Sensor   I replaced the Governor Pressure Sensor and the Governor Pressure Solenoid when my truck was doing the same thing and it fixed it right up. Might as well replace the filter while you are in there and the filter comes with a new gasket. It is a rubber gasket so don't over tighten the bolts or you will have leaks. Just a little more than snug does the trick.   If you are going to replace the pressure sensor you should go ahead and relace the solenoid as well. From everything I have read they go out in pairs and it would stink to replace one and it really be the other that is giving you the problem.   Let me know if you have any questions about this because I just did it a week ago and it is still fresh in my head.

I bought a used 96 Dodge Dakota.   I have to increase the rpm's and then when they decrease it will go into gear. It's and automatic.   Should I have the trans fluid changed and refilled or what ?   thanks

Replying to: zyta88 (Aug 03, 2009 5:54 pm) iT APPEARS THAT THERE ARE NUMEROUS INDIVIDUALS OUT THERE WHO HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM. MYSELF INCLUDED. I CAN TELL YOU THAT DODGE ISSUED A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE TSB 18-001-05 ON 1/5/2005. AT THE DEALER'S EXPENSE, THE TORQUE CONVERTOR WAS REPLACED AND RECOMMENDED FIX IN THE TSB WAS PERFORMED. UNFORTUNATELY FOR ME, THIS DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. THE DEALER (NON-DODGE) TOOK IT TO ANOTHER DODGE DEALER FOR A SECOND OPINION AND THEY SAID THERE'S NOTHING MORE THAT BE DONE AND IT'S AND I QUOTE "AN INHERENT TRAIT OF THE DAKOTAS". SOMEHOW I JUST DON'T BUT THAT ARGUEMENT. AT THIS POINT IN TIME I HAVE FILED FORMAL COMPLAINTS WITH THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU AND THE CONSUMER PROTECTION AGENCY.
