46 RH Trans by drew_blue

Reply
I have a 95 dodge ram 1500 4x4 auto trans and 360 engine that has no reverse and will move forward but still tries to move forward in neutral and is under load even in park. I pulled trans out and partially dissasembled, the front band is smoked and the clutch discs I have looked at are burnt and warped. I removed the input shaft and intermediate shaft assem, dissasembled the front clutch with out problem but cant get the rear clutch apart that contains the planetaries and clutch pack, the input shaft and splined hub will wiggle but wont seperate from the planetaries. I have a tech book but doesnt give alot of detail on how that should seperate! Anyone know the answer to this?
                                                Thanks drew_blue

I think what you are trying to remove is the Intermediate Shaft and Planetary Gearsets. Do you have the transmission mounted in a vertical position? That's the recommended disassembly & reassembly position.
 
Sometimes trying to work on them laying on a bench horizontally puts side forces on the end of the shaft and makes removal difficult. If need be, make or use a tool to grab onto the Low/Reverse Drum to move it outwards.

Virtually any internal part is available from Dodge. I would recommend visiting a dealer's parts department. They should be able to help you get the correct parts.

As you're facing the driving shell or drum, there should be a snap ring on the shaft. Removing the snap ring should allow you to remove front annulus gear and front planetary gearset.
 
Do not reuse the snap ring that you removed. It must be reassembled with a new snap ring.

1995 Ram 3500 Automatic Continuously Shift Between Gears by eager777
Dec 28, 2008 (3:40 pm)

I have a 1995 Dodge 3500 with a cummins turbo diesel. The automatic transmission cannot decide which gear it wants to be in once over 60 mph, and continuously shifts between 3rd and 4th. Selecting overdrive off kills the overdrive, but does not eliminate the problem.
 
When idling, my headlights brightness varies leading me to believe the alternator voltage regulator is bad. I've heard this may cause shifting problems. Does anyone else have any other ideas?

I have a 2001 Dodge Ram 1500 2 wheel drive 5.2 litre automatic A518. It will not shifht out of first gear I only have 1st and reverse. I've had diagnostic test done it said governor pressure solenoid. I have replace it and the speed control sensor. It is still doing the same thing. Could it possibly be the servo? Someone please help!

How many miles on this vehicle?
 
Actually, I think you'll find you have a 46RE transmission. Other possibilities:
 
*Valve body issues. You could have a stuck/binding 1-2 shift valve or inoperative solenoid, or a stuck govenor plug. Binding shift valves usually indicate a worn valve body, stuck valves are usually related to dirty fluid. Both conditions can be attributed to a weak or otherwise defective shift solenoid.
 
Check the terminals in the electrical connector to the transmission for signs of corrosion or contamination. Clean or repair as necessary.
 
*Remove the transmission pan. The kickdown band strut could have fallen off. This indicates a very worn kickdown band or one that is seriously out of adjustment. The front servo could be stuck or broken as well.
 
*Defective PCM.
 
You say that a diagnostic pointed to the Govenor Pressure Solenoid and you replaced it. There is also a Governor Pressure Sensor (the thing the Govenor Pressure Solenoid mounts to) that could be bad.
 
Regards,
Dusty
