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.

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

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.

2003 SXT Dakota Automatic Transmission shifting issue by john451
Sep 13, 2009 (4:48 pm)

I have a 2003 SXT Automatic 3.9L dodge Dakota. It has 59,000 miles on it. When I drive it seems that the first gear seems to be staying in gear longer then it should. Then it shifts. This also happens in Passing gear. It also seems it has no get up and go. Don't know if these issues are related or not. Does any one have any ideas that might help. Could my problem be a sensor related issue? Please help

1991 dakota auto trans by don67rs by don67rs

I just bought a 91 ex cab with 5.2 motor & auto trans. it has 112,000 miles. The guy said the trans was serviced at 97,000 miles. Here the problem I'm having with it. When its cold and you put it in revers it backs up just fine. When you drive it for a while & have the temp. built up to normal , say 10 miles or so, when you go to back it up the rpm drops it shuders & acts like it trying to lock up you give it more gas & it kind of wheel hops. If you put it back to neutral & rev it up & try it again sometime it works ok & somtimes it still acts up. But when its cold before you get to much heat built up in it it works fine. Checked the fluid & its rihgt on full. Would it help to put synthetic fluid in it insted of reg. atf ? I't also shifts pretty firm & I put a new tps sensor & that helped a little on the firm shift part. Need help with this if anyone as any ideas.!!!!!!!!!!!
