Dodge RAM 1500 Transmission Shifting Problem Caused by Defective Pressure/Overdrive Solenoid. 

This video help me a lot. Thanks i did and solved my truck

To anyone wondering: this solenoid being defective will cause hard shifting, late shifting (so can the speed sensor), TC lockup issues at cruising speeds, and other various issues. If you’re experiencing any transmission shifting issues, do this before anything else. Thank you for posting this detailed video, it was very easy to follow along with and informative. Great job.

There's a zillion of these vids just showing the selenoid replacement. Thanks for going thru the whole thing up to the outside connector. That really helped.

Thanks for the video. OI have been looking at many different videos, this is top of the line. Its in a working condition that Im working in, great visual camera work and very clear audio. Does not go of track.

I just want to say thank you. I've had that problem for a couple years and I did take it to the shop but they just took my money and they said it was fixed but I kept having the same problem until now that I saw your video. People like you really make a difference. Thank you.

Good job my friend. Let's hope that's my problem on my Dodge 5.7. Ram 1500 , I would also like to compliment how clean your shop is , you are a true professional. 👍

Amazing camera work, perfect tutorial, and extremely helpful! This is exactly the same as what I'm seeing on my 1993 Jeep Grand Cherokee 5.2L V8.

I LIKE YOUR VIDEOS...I HAVE A 96 RAM WITH THE 318 ENGINE..RETIRED LARRY IN INDIANAPOLIS INDIANA..

i watched this video and was very helpful so i fixed my transmission myself, my problem was that spring inside the cyclinder , i recommend buying a trans kit that includes solinoids and spring, filter, gaskit etc

perfect video...clear and concise instructions...going to fix my truck today.

Just a tip, they sell transmission oil plug kits for any trans with a pan. Makes life a lot easier. If that's your truck you should install one...

Great job and very comprehensive. Thank you!

Thank you I searched through a few videos on this but this is the best one

By the way, thank you for the step by step video and for your time making it.

Great video ! Thanks for sharing !

Good show did mine yesterday after watching your video ,so cool to watch it being done then doing it ,and if like me you forget watch it again,Thanks.

That was a great tutorial video! Thanks it’s much appreciated.

Good video. I was wandering if is any way to test the solenoids to make sure that is the problem?

Your video was very helpful an easy to follow. Ty

going to buy this part tomorrow i hope it works

Thank u for posting this video

excellent. Great help.

this looks like something i can do myself. i hope i don't destroy anything. thanks for the video!

Great video!

tnk u very much. this video show me step by step how to do it right.

Very nice man. My sons is a 2011 having shift issues between 1400 and 2100 rpm it will rev like the trsnny is slipping or vacuum issues. This was a great video for things hopefully not to come. Lol we just changed the filters and filled his tranny with royal purple. Loldont want to crack it again.

i had broke the transmission connector solenoid, (plastic piece that bolts to the valve body), when I installing the valve body.. it looks like it only serves two purpose holding the connector and swivel to make the install thru the trans case.. if I were to leave it as is would I have shifting problems.. looking for some insight..

Gracias sabes lo que Haces, Aprendi mucho Hoy. Dios te bendiga!

Thank you!!!!!!

Good video

Great video

Good video, clean garage !

Do you have to reset/Program the new solenoid?

thank you

So I just left the transmission shop after pulling this part. They say it's an Overdrive kick down sensor. Not a pressure solenoid. Am I missing something here?

Nice video's thanks a lot

Great share thanks

my 1997 dodge ram 1500 v6 has this same code p0740 popping up do you know the same TCC SOLENOID MODULE fits my year model truck?

Is the process the same for a 3.9L V6 magnum?

Great job man I'm doin mine this Sunday

i have a dodge journey 2011 and wath it does is that it hesitats wen it goes to change gear for about a second or to second's so do you think it could be the same part that i have to replace ?

Had this problem on my 1995 dodge ram. Then one day I was at a stop light and truck would not move. It moves now when it's cold but haven't taken it out of my driveway. The transmission has (Never) slipped.Could the pressure/overdrive Solonoid be the problem or something more serious?

I want to do this operation myself but I am worried about that spring, you are not really showing how you put it back and it seems to be a sensitive part of the job. Could you elaborate a little? I heard sometimes the problem is just the spring that is broken or damaged. Where to find a new spring? THX

thanks buddy!

I have a 95 1500 180k miles and recently it did not want to go into gear. I took to a local shop but I don't think they wanted to work on it. It seemed like it went out without any kind of warning, is this normal? After I was on side of road for about five minutes engine off I turned back on and once placed in lowest of gears it moved a little bit, but then stopped. Will doing this procedure be advised, if not I guess I have to sell for parts. Thanks!

Ok, I just wanted to know if this resolved the issue of the truck won't go in reverse.. please answer

2010 RAM 3500 shifts to Reverse on its own while driving @100km/hr. And engine stalled. Seems not mechanical problem. Whats the cause: Solenoid, wire, pcm...?Could you give advice?

My 01 Ram 1500 doesn’t shift up at 55-65mph and the rpms stay at 4000 and shows no codes. Do you think it’s the o/d actuator?

Where did you order from I can’t find one

Would this help with the truck not shifting out of 1st on an automatic

Sir, i Just replace my governor solenoid and governor sensor on my 2000 5.2 ram Is a 4x4 shifts fine but Is Like a weak, What would be

I have a 07 Dodge 3500 four-wheel-drive Dooley having trouble when I'm going forwards I can feel shift in first second when I get up to about 40 miles an hour then it downshifts and I could feel I don't have the power and the transmission it when I'm got the trailer hooked up what could be wrong

Do you have one on how to replace a Snap ring on a 2001 dodge ram 1500 5.9L automatic transmission?

So I have a 2001 dodge ram 1500 v8 magnum it's not shifting properly can that be the same issue ?

I have the 45RFE transmission in my 99 Grand cherokee, I changed the fluid and both filters the other day, afterwards when i was about to go for a test drive the chek engine light came on and the transmission slams quite roughly into revesre and drive gear, and when to take off in drive i have to go up to 2000rpm before the car slowly is floating foward, I scanned it and received faulty code P1784, Does anyone have any idea what the problem may be?

i have a 1995 dodge ram 1500 5.9 i have a problem when i turn on the truck i runs and everything but when i get it to running temperature its just just stop driving whdn i have it on drive it stoping going like if it was on neutral anyideas for why that happing i changed the trans fluid and filter

What code reader are you using in this video

MUCHO BUENO

How was the truck shifting in order for you to change this I mean what was it doing not shifting or was it hard shifting what was the problem

My 2011 Altima has the same issue a few weeks ago. It just turned 80K miles, had the car since 7 miles brand new same month it was built in 2011. I went to a few car repair shop they wanted $4500 to replace the transmission. I pulled the code it came up P0745. I want to replace the solenoid myself but kind of nervous since I have to drop the valve body.

i have 1994 3500 Cummins 4x4 and the tranny takes a few minutes of shifting it back and forth between forward and reverse before it builds enough pressure to engage if it's been sitting for a day or two. Once it does it runs fine until it sits for a day then i have to repeat the process. Any idea why?

Wat code reader did u use to clear the code

will a 46RE tranny out of a 2002 dodge ram 1500 3.6L v6, fit in my 1995 dodge ram 5.9L V8?

I have a 1500 series dodge ram 1999 that is slipping between 30 mph and 50 mph . Filter been changed. Could it be the silicone. Can't go above 50 mph . Your recommendations . V/R Jason

I don't know if anyone else does this . But to save the trans fluid I usually put a syphon tube in at the trans stick all the way down and pump as much I can put from the top before unbolting the pan

Hi - my 01 1500 seems to rev high and not go into OD as it used to.. .. fluid isnt brown or burned, still quite clean. i put in lucas stop slip.. i can drive it but sometimes it wont go into OD.. sometimes it does the same in first or second, revs high for a bit the drops like the band is slipping. Can i try reset the fwd band from the outside? ill check my obd and see if i get this code, thanks!

do I need the computer to operate the transmission

Is it the same steps for a 4x4 ram 5.9 V8

Hello I have a problem with my 5.9 1500 dodge. It revvs high before shifting to 2nd gear and it’s rough. I’ve changed the output speed sensor, the throttle sensor, and the govenor pressure sensor and solenoid. But I didn’t change out this part. Is my transmission shot? Or do I have more life.? Thank you

Great video very precise thank you

Does this solenoid have any affect on the tack working or what makes the tack work on this model of ram? I thought it would be through the cam position sensor but it didn’t change after replacing..maybe it’s in the instrument panel …

is the 2005 the same steps?

Is good. Informative video thank you .only thing is you sound very far .well ..to me .tnx again

You forgot put what year of the truck because I’m working on a 99 5.2 2wd and mine Is different i had to replace the twin solenoid because the mew one drop a code so I try to use the old ones but plug were different had to drop the valve bodie to replace the plug ,,,,good video tough

Hello, my name is Diego, can you please help me? My Dodge RAM 1500 year 1995 disconnected a hose and lost all the transmission oil and now that I added oil to it it it works but it doesn't change speed it moves at the first speed and it doesn't change Thank you

Will this help because my neighbor Truck only goes in reverse but when he puts it in drive, it doesn’t move, so is that the problem for his transmission?

What is the part called that it bolts to? Mine broke coming out.

Does the solenoid come wirh a gasket?

I am also having trouble in the reverse but I'm trying to back the trailer up I'm having to run our rpm higher it's having trouble to back the truck up

What waa wrong with the truck? I have a dodge ram wont go forward or back it had alot metalic material on the magnet inside the pan. Im pretty sure its serious?

I've got a situation where I replaced a 46re in a 97 Dodge Ram 1500 4×4 with a 44re out if a 96 Dakota 4×4 5.2 it started out working well however once the first drive it slowly started to quit working to the point of not moving at all

I have 1995 Dodge Ram awd it’s hard to drive and sounds like it scraping when I’m 123 the 4 5 still work and don’t make the sound. When I press the clutch it makes a sound like scrapping and I put 123 it won’t let me drive. If you have any answer anyone please let me know

Hey sorry to bug but I have a 96 dodge ram 1500 5.9 engine and was wondering if have any idea why my over drive light keeps coming on every now and then. I already changed filter and fluid.

I have a 99 dodge dakota 5.9 I put new bearings and seals in the rear end last week. My transmission was working OK then someone told me put Lucas transmission stuff in the tyranny so I did now my transmission won't shift out of first gear. I have to take off with high rpms and let off the gas and it will go to another gear. I changed my fluid and filter today and still no change. Could my clutch plates in the differential be slpping and making it seem like the transmission. If someone could please help me I would appreciate it greatly

Are they hard to change

I'm having trouble tarnsmission I feel going 1 gear 2 gear I get it up to would down shift to First gear what could be wrong

will this problem always throw a code?

My lexus rx 300 slips when hot. Does this help?

ME ENCANTO EL VIDEO, LASTIMA QUE NO FUERA EN ESPANOL,

howstuffinmycarworks . sir, will this fix the won't go in reverse problem?

I wonder if that could be the reason my 98 will not go in reverse

Could that bad solinoid cause surging? My trans jump into high gears while driving at random times...(not slipping or clunking)

I'm have a problem like that the shop said it is the fuel pump... I'll wait an see if not I'll change that part next

would this cause a slip when truck is first started? Slip usually stops after heated up.

What is the sensor right above the pan that you can see there?

I need to know how to fix my reverse in my 2001 Dodge Ram 1500 5.2 l all of my forward gears are good that shift out fine when I put it in reverse I used to have to rev it up a little bit and then it would catch and go in reverse now it's like I just have it in park it will not move what part do I have to change in my transmission any feedback would be greatly appreciated I don't want to have someone rebuild the whole thing I would rather do it myself

What obd1 code reader is that?

Maybe you know the answer to this unique issue I have on my 2005 Dodge Ram 5.9 Cummins automatic w/overdrive transmission? 196,000 miles. It's the original transmission and motor. All fluids/oils and filters regularly changed and kept clean/new. Not used to tow often...4-5 times a year at most and 8,000 lb loads at most. I've asked 4 tranny shops and a few forums and Facebook groups but no luck finding same problem or proper fix. I'm wondering if I'm just that special?!?? Lol One mild Fall day last year I had driven 260 miles on interstate at about 75-80 mph. It began slowly reducing speed over 6 miles from 80 to 15mph. Moving fuel pedal would not do anything but make it stumble a little a couple dozen RPMs up or down. Stopping and restarting it immediately did not help nor did changing gears manually. All fluids were fine, not too hot and no burning of anything fluid or conduit wire was observed. All looked good under and above it. I stopped it for 30 minutes as I checked it over. It would drive normally after that, but it would only go 25-30 miles before it would slowly slow down again as described above. I did this over many cycles all the way home 260 miles. I'd turn it off and on again, completely off as it rested for 25 minutes. The batteries seemed to be getting charged (started well each time) and no warning lights were on. Once or twice, when I drove it until it would not even crawl anymore (1-2 mph, I was testing it), it stalled. So it wasn't hard starting or hard-stalling unless I took it all the way down to 1-2 mph speed. It was not idling weird either. Could this be an electrical ground failure or electronic issue? If I had a battery connection loose or anything disrupting the flow could it cause this? It seems like something is getting tired and needing to cool down or something but nothing was overly hot or smoking. What's weird to me is it's not slipping in the usual way of revving up but not moving. It would usually get no lower than idle. Tranny shops haven't heard of this before. No transmission codes either. They want to charge me $3,000+ for new or rebuilt tranny. I want to rule out wiring and electronics (that don't throw codes) first. Any suggestions? Heard of this ever before for an automatic transmission?

is this also called the Transmission Control Solenoid? I couldnt find a pressure sol listed at the parts store! I have a 1995 that has code 37 but no transmission slipping or acting funny or anything like that

How much will someone charge me to do the shift solenoid replacement? I’m in Glendale, AZ!
