| I have a 98 Ram 2500 with Cummins engine and 5 speed manual transmission. When the temperature is cold outside, I hear a "squishing" noise coming from the transmission when I start out. It sounds like oil being forced out through the gears. This only happens when it is cold and when you first start out, at less than 10 mph. Once it is driven a block or so the noise goes away. I have changed the transmission oil and still have same problem. The clutch was replaced about 5000 miles ago. This is a recent problem, within the last couple of weeks. Any ideas? | |

Replying to: waynek5 (Jan 10, 2009 8:37 am) At 65,000 miles you should've had at least one transmission maintenance (filter and fluid), and I would have recommended the bands be checked and adjusted. If you've got torque converter chatter, a transmission filter and complete fluid change may resolve this issue. If this problem is accompanied by and or manifests itself as the torque converter coming in and out constantly, I would suspect a bad Throttle Position Sensor, especially because of the year and miles.

Hi, I am new to this forum and I was reading a few of the posts. I own a 2000 dodge ram 1500 5.9L gas 360. Anyway I just had the transmission replaced, however I think the repairman put the wrong one back in. The paperwork says it is an A618 or a 47RE, from what I have read so far I should have the 46RE, the 47RE was for the 5.9L cummins and the 8.0L V-10. Is this a big concern or will the transmission be okay. The only reason I ask is that I now have a check engine light with the code of P1740 something to do with the TCC or OD solenoid. Anybody have any words of wisdom.

Replying to: MikaybiZ (Jan 10, 2009 11:31 am) Can a A-618/47RE bolt up to your 2000 360 motor. Yes. Is there a problem with this? Not in my opinion. I'm guessing that who ever did the work for you did not rebuild or work on the original transmission, but bought an off-the-shelf rebuilt from a supplier. If so, the supplier is probably hedging for the sake of warranty coverage knowing that truck trannies often get abused and poorly cared for and a stronger version would hold up better, or at least that's their theory. Since the difference between rebuilding a 46RE and a 47RE is rather minuscule, it logically provides an increased cost/benefit ratio for the supplier. I'll have to check, but it is possible that a 47RE was available as an option for the 360, and maybe even the 318 in those years. By any chance is this a 4x4 RAM? Regards, Dusty
