47RE 24v Cummins Transmission Band Adjustment and Fluid/Filter Change 

I had not considered that, I appreciate it! I think I will definitely give that a shot in a few months. Thanks!

The GM upgrade solenoid will make a huge difference! I did mine and my transmission shifts awesome now.

@@reebarr8832 im having the same problem on my 99 24V I bought that isolator. been sitting on my toolbox for weeks . how much did it help. thanks .

@@ertreeservice9558 do you have the part number of the solenoid? Thanks

Any video ? Or guide you follow to remove the valve body

Good to know. I found my particular issue was the TV cable being too short because a bracket was on wrong. Getting a built trans is eventually the go to though

Yep. When I did a built trans I found the root cause to the shifting was the TV cable bracket on the trans was backwards, making it get stretched about an extra half inch.

@@AllThingsBoost That's great to hear. Our transmission are great when properly maintained. The amount of power they can take is amazing. I know for me when I was a young man transmission were a sort of a black art. They only way to understand them is to do how you did a just work on them. I'm happy you found your issue and corrected it. I love my second gen 24v.

That's what it wound up being. When I swapped transmissions I found the bracket that holds the TV cable was backwards, spacing it out about an extra half inch making the trans think it was always under throttle

@@AllThingsBoost damn, well I’m glad you figured it out man. Soon as you said when you let out it shifted and it did the same for both 1-2 and 2-3 I instaintly said “sounds like the tv cable is showing too much pressure to the VB which is why the Rpms are going so high before it shifts” if it only did that in one gear I wouldn’t have thought that but because on your test drive it did the same thing for every gear it made me think that. Great video none the less! I just had to fix my truck yesterday, I was getting super low line pressure and it ended up being a clogged filter because of a brand new Tripple disk I installed about a month or so ago.. lots of break in material from the brand new Tripple disk and I didn’t know that when you install a new converter you want to swap the filter for a new one after a week or so of driving. Yesterday I was looking for a possible solution your video popped up and that’s how I wound up here lol.

Huh, I hadn't considered trying to build it myself. Thanks for the info! I'll definitely look into it

Yep, when I put my built trans in I found that stupid bracket was installed backwards by someone...

My TV cable bracket on the transmission was backwards making it a half inch too short, so I had a lot of tensions on it causing my shift issue.

Interesting, I hope you figure it out

Went built trans from Dynamic Transmissions, very happy with it. This one eventually started losing over drive

Well, actually it's fixed now. I haven't made a video on it yet, but my TV cable was too short. Even at its maximum adjusted length it was still putting too much pressure to the trans. I temporarily used zip ties to make it about half an inch longer and it shifts perfectly now. I need to either replace the cable or come up with a more permanent way to make it longer.

@@AllThingsBoost thanks I’m going to try it 🤞🏽

I loosened it as much as the adjustment allows, but its possible. I wouldn't be surprised if it got shortened or remade in a pinch back by one of the previous owners. I'll probably revisit it soon. Thanks for the input

@@AllThingsBoost ok, I remember doing some work on my 99 gasser truck and I messed up the tv cable and it shifted like crap. Maybe try tightening some? Just play with it and see if shift quality gets any better

@@crenulatemist6531 oh yeah, so i jerry rigged some zip ties to lengthen the cable about .5" and it shifts perfectly now. Definitely something made my cable too short, so I really appreciate you pointing that out and making me revisit that.

@@AllThingsBoost absolutely, glad you got your truck figured out!

Yep, I discovered much later when swapping out the transmission that someone put on the TV cable trans bracket backwards making it about a half inch longer than it was supposed to be. My temp fix before that was making it longer temporarily with zip ties.

I think it was 5 qts? Start with like 4.5 on the refill, start it, let it idle, then check fluid level, make sure it's on the dip stick, after that drive it, get it warm and check periodically until it's at the right level. Dont wanna over fill it

@@AllThingsBoost awesome thanks!

@@AllThingsBoost thank you!!

I agree. Looked into the bay of a 2021 Dodge my buddy got and its wild.

Its a 2001 dude? Not that sophisticated (in juxtaposition to a modern tranny)

Yup. Found out later someone installed a bracket backwards, putting way too much tension on the cable.

@@AllThingsBoost funny thing is that currently right now at 12:59am I'm here working on my truck trying to get my overdrive to work after like three years of it being out hahaha crazy but I'm getting it done thank God Let's see what happens just took down the pan and valve body replaced the solenoid, transducer and governor pressure sensor saw that one of my springs was broken replaced it and now cleaning the pan gasket about to install that and see how it goes. Hallelujah!!!!! 😉🤚🤚🤚🤚

Sounds like that to me also

Trying to understand these adjustments, sounds like a little too much slack in the TV cable, causes soft and late shift?
