#310 of 1279 2003 Ram 2500 47RE Auto Transmission by kingri Dec 09, 2007 (9:29 am)
My transmission just quit shifting into 4th gear. All other gears shift smoothly. Changed governor pressure sensor & solenoid, did not fix anything. Looking for advice.
#311 of 1279 1997 Ram 1500 Trouble Code 37 by hookerp Dec 10, 2007 (5:39 pm)
I have a trouble code of 37 which means Torque Converter Clutch. Can anyone explain what needs to be done. Is this some kind of sensor or relay. Please don't tell me the convertor is going out. I am on my third tranny.   Thanks
#312 of 1279 2001 Dodge Ram 1500 Transmission by questmom9600 Dec 10, 2007 (6:56 pm)
Can anyone out there shed some light as to why my husband's Ram has gone through another transmission? We bought it used with 44,000 miles on it a few years ago. About 1 1/2 yrs. ago the transmission went and we put a rebuilt one in. Now, not even 2 years later it is blown again, another 2600 dollars that we don't have especially this time of year. He doesn't do any towing, plowing or anything like that. He only drives it back and forth to work and occasionally makes small dump runs. It now has 110,000 miles on it, all highway mileage and here we are with a transmission problem again. It all makes me so mad. Now the transmission guy is saying that it might get to the point that it wouldn't be worth it to fix. I don't know about any of you, but I don't consider 100,000 miles, especially highway mileage and a 2001 truck "old or not worth repairing".

#315 of 1279 dodge tranny problem by jonhemp Dec 12, 2007 (6:31 am)
i purchased a 1995 dodge 2500 cummins a few months ago. the truck has 138,000 miles on it. The shift linkage needs to be adjusted. It has been like this since I have had the truck, something that I have been meaning to fix. As a result the gears 12DNRP do not line up with where they should. The other day I was driving the truck and just after getting down the road the tranny started to slip-possibly in neutral) and the transmission temp light came on. Coulod this be a result of the linkage needing adjustment or can these be seperate problems. The temp light came on within 1 mile of travel which seemed odd. I pulled over and checked my fluid levels, which seemed fine. The fluid was a nice clear red, almost like new! I did notice some tiny air bubbles on the dipstick. Can that be a result of higher temp? After checking the fluid I put it in gear and drove off with no more troubles. Later that day on my way home from work the temp light came on again. Also within a mile of driving the truck. This time there was no slipage. On both occasions the light came on quick and then would go off. Can this be related to the linkage? If so what is the best way to adjust it? Thanks for all the help-
#316 of 1279 Re: Delayed Engagement & Related Transmission DTCs (45 & 545RFE Transmissio by tnbulldog2 Dec 12, 2007 (5:39 pm)
Replying to: dustyk (Mar 27, 2007 2:21 pm) Dusty, Thanks in advance for taking time to read this. I have had my '06 Megacab Ram 1500 in the shop for the third time for symptoms described in your reply above. I was told today, they replaced the second of two filters since the first one didn't change the lack of immediate "park to reverse or drive" engagement. This evening, I moved my truck to make room for my wifes car in the driveway and I experienced the longest "Park to 1st gear" "drive delay" so far. The dealer shows it to be a 5-45RFE tranny. No codes are apparent. I'm going to try it again tonight and tomorrow. If it doesn't show improvement, what should I be telling the dealer. ONLY 12,000 more miles of warranty! STAR was supposed to get involved but they were not dispatched to my dealer by someone's choice other than mine. STAR is Chrysler's Expert Technician, in case you didn't know. Sounds like you're IN THE KNOW!\ Thanks Charlie
#317 of 1279 Re: 2007 transmission noises. [speedypa] by tnbulldog2 Dec 12, 2007 (6:10 pm)
Replying to: speedypa (Dec 01, 2007 7:59 pm) No noises here but something that might be of interest. My issue is 'not immediately' engaging into reverse or drive when shifting from PARK (auto trans). Experiencing roll forward or backward until engagement occurs. Might as well have a straight drive, manual tranny! I just returned home with my 3rd tranny warranty, so called, repair today. They changed a faulty filter a few weeks ago, said it was the type filter Dodge was using and it was failing on 2006 models with 545RPE tranny. Turns out they changed the other related filter today (also mentioned in this blog on page 15 by DUSTY). In addition, the dealer drained the t-fluid and added new and also added a "SEALER"???? I drove it home,parked it and went inside. Came back out to move it out of the wife's way and the "3-4 second park to drive delay" was still evident. This has only been occuring the last 1000 miles or so. With only 24,000 miles on the vehicle, the dealer(Alley's KingsportTN) nor Dodge/Chrysler will not get away with telling me it is characteristic for it to have an engagement delay. I am watching this site for answers and what to do next. TnBulldog2

#319 of 1279 99 2500 Diesel 4X4 reluctant to shift up from first by burmafrd Dec 13, 2007 (5:41 pm)
185K have taken good care of it - flushed tranny 18 months ago with new filter. Just recently it started to redline to shift up, and has gotten worse. If going down hill OK; if I let up it usually shifts, but not always. If going up hill it will not shift up from first. A mechanic friend put it on the computer but only a vague message came up. Help. Expensive situation coming up!!!!
