46RE Common Problems

[@billcat1840]

Update: 2023, Shift kit got me to 275,000..44re still pulling good but has developed a leak behind the convertor. Have a replacement on the bench now. 46re .New convertor, replaced all bushings, thrust washers, upgraded to a 5 pinion planetary, stage one clutches, 5 clutch direct drum, bolt in sprag, Sonnex rear overdrive piston housing for more oiling, new od snap ring, new od spring, new bearing, and of course a Transgo shift kit..going behind a refreshed Magnum 5.2 that's warmer than stock..😁..

400,000 HARD miles and still going strong original engine and transmission 1996 Dodge B3500 15 passenger van. Fluid/filter/band adjust every 30k, ripped check ball out of trans cooler line the day i bought the van with 22k miles on it. Love ol Bessie

[@Namelesshero-e8k]

Why what’s up with the check ball

[@Eztops]

@@Namelesshero-e8k essentially a ball on a spring to prevent fluid from draining back from the torque converter when it's off. That's the way I understand it anyways. But, they like to stick closed after a while. Then you have no fluid flow through the cooler. Then your transmission is burned up before you even know what happened. I removed mine a very long time ago no ill effects 400,000 miles still going strong

[@Bryan-jd7os]

​@Eztops i have a question, i just got a 2001 3500 van and on occasion when shifting to Drive it doesnt engage, i have to shift out and back into Drive for it to engage. Van has 49k miles. Thank you in advance!

[@andrewsanders6270]

I got 297,000 miles out of a 1997 46re in a Dodge Ram 2wd sst truck . I maintained it by fully naturally flushing it every 3 years and a pan and filter change every 2 years with a band adjustments at the same time . I kept it out of overdrive on slower speed hills while towing getting up to speed and I put it in neutral while coasting down to stops to reduce wear . I also would put it in neutral in drive throughs , banks , and stop lights to reduce needless wear. The overdrive snap ring broke a piece but it lasted 2 more years no problems , but when it broke I know those clutches wore some due to all the particals in my extremely clean fluid !!!!! Changed it a couple times and like I said 2 more trouble free years . Great transmission in my opinion !

But when they aren't babied they are problematic over the course of the life of the truck

[@andrewsanders6270]

@@Nothingmore71 That's my understanding as well .

[@muziklvr7776]

Shifting between drive and neutral actually causes more wear than just leaving it in gear as it's constantly engaging the clutch pack(s). Driving around town with the overdrive off does certainly help extend it's life. I do this with all of my automatic transmissions.

Great Video Gary. While cleaning the pan I found a small part, steel wedge about 1" x 1/4" with a small round dimple in it. Some research tells me this is part of a band adjuster.

Hey Mr Gary, I have a 99 Dakota RT with the 46 in it. I had the transmission rebuilt by a local gentleman who has built over 50 transmissions for me and my brother over the years. The Transmission was built 3 and a half years ago and due to my job I wasn’t able to install it until 2 weeks ago. It was wrapped up and sealed so nothing could get in it and stored inside a storage container. The issue I have is after driving around town for a few days, less than 100 miles, the OD off light came on, it downshifted and the trans temp light came on. When I got the truck home, I started it up and checked the fluid, it was showing 2 quarts over full. Found the check valve on the cooler line was stuck closed and I gathered that the fluid was somehow pushed into the pan from the pump and torque converter. Replaced the rubber line with the valve and everything seemed fine. Drove the truck 147 miles on the interstate with no issues and 3 hours later driving the 147 miles back home the truck did the same thing as before. Got the truck back home, found the new cooler was stopped up(external aftermarket). I then purchased a new radiator and factory external cooler and flushed the transmission lines. Now the truck will not shift out of 2nd gear unless I feather the throttle around 2500rpms and this doesn’t always work. It’s a hard shift to 2nd gear from 1st and I have no OD off light or transmission temperature light. I haven’t driven it due to the shifting issue to see if the fluid will back fill to the pan like the two previous times that reflected an overfill condition per the dipstick. Any advice or recommendations of where to start with trouble shooting? The check engine light is on for a different reason but I’m going to scan the truck tomorrow because I haven’t done so since the shifting issue. All this happened on Thursday and Friday of last week and I haven’t done anything with the truck since Friday night.

[@GaryFerraro]

ok, First the fluid must be checked in Neutral not park, it may show overfull in park. scan the truck to see if any codes are present for the trans

[@newtonhowell540]

@@GaryFerraro I will scan for codes in the morning. I’ve always checked fluid level in park after driving a few miles and allowing it to idle for about 5 minutes before checking. I’ll start checking it in neutral from now on. I’ll send an update in the morning, thanks.

[@newtonhowell540]

@@GaryFerraro I went ahead and checked the fluid level this evening, can scan it until tomorrow morning when I open the shop I work at. Initially I filled it with 8 1/2 quarts and it had been driving and shifting fine until the over temperature and OD off lights came on. I just added another quart and a half that puts it at 10qts total in the transmission which is suppose to be the correct amount per Mitchell on Demand. Still won’t shift out of 2nd gear. I’ll post another update in the morning.

[@buck19]

As i understand it, the original oe lip seal was machined wrong, creating a premature failure on the seal. The cheap fix is the thicker seal, the "correct" fix is replacing the drum itself with the updated version (corrected machined seal seat) allowing for the use of the thinner seal. Sonnax offered an update with a beefed up drum and all, allowing you to turn a 46re into a 48re (with other parts and machining). With that said, in case the drum was previously replaced with updated version, you should measure it to know if you need the thicker seal or not. Take note, i am not a trans tech. Just little things ive picked up in the 275k ive driven my 97 ram

Hello Gary, thanks for all the info you shared. I am curious what you think of my situation. 1999 dodge ram 2500 5.9L v8 gas with 46re auto trans. Occasional hard shifts. This week i was at a stop sign, gave it gas to go, and the engine revved up but truck didnt move. I threw the gear into park, then put back into drive and made it home just fine. I bought a solenoid upgrade kit that im waiting to arrive. No check engine codes. Thanks for your time

[@GaryFerraro]

First thing is to check the fluid level, make sure the shifter is in Neutral not park

[@TopgC04]

I’m having a problem with my 46re. My rear end locked up and I get another one installed. We didn’t think it caused any trans damage. Well 1st and reverse doesn’t want to go until I give it some gas. I can feel them engage but I have to get it to 1500-2000 rpm and then it jerks and then it goes through all gears fine. Any help would be appreciated as I’m trying to get into fixing transmissions. Also I have dropped the pan and there was no metal other than expected flakes do to normal wear and tear for the mileage on it and fluid wasn’t bad at all

[@MotoVloggedOUT]

I’ve got a 2000 durango 4x4 with the 46RE, with around 174,000 miles. it seems to work ok besides on cold start being hesitant to move in reverse. But it’s leaking at the shift shaft seal and 8-pin connector to the valve body. I’m debating if it’s worth removing the trans to get to the shift shaft seal that’s leaking, as the removal tool trick didn’t work. It just pulled the rubber out of the seal and didn’t bite enough to remove it fully. Do you think the time involved in repairing these issues is worthwhile with the mileage on it?

Have you tried adjusting the cable? any codes?

[@andythompson3528]

I have a 98 Dodge Ram 1500 with the 46re. Whenever it’s in overdrive going between about 40-50 mph, it briefly pops out of overdrive and down to 4th gear and then it goes right back into overdrive. It usually only happens whenever I hit a bump in the road. I checked the trans fluid level and it was ok. No check engine light so I’m not sure if it’s throwing a code. Could this be a solenoid issue?

[@bannablitz247]

Any thoughts on a 46re oem sealed trans with 77k. When cold it holds in second gear and does not want to shift into third. Once it is warmed up it shifts perfectly. No codes, I adjusted the front band to spec and it appears to be where it originally was but I have yet to adjust the rear. The truck shifted the same before and after the adjustment.

[@GaryFerraro]

The problem is the inner lip seal on the direct drum is no good, it's to thin and then it shrinks(comes like this from factory) In an overhaul kit you get the original seal(which i do not use) or a thicker inner lip seal (which i use) The thicker seal sticks out much further making a better seal, i have a video on it, maybe the one you watched

@@GaryFerraro Oh and by the way, I'm just going to throw this out there. I noticed recently that I didn't start getting this trouble code until after I had put new tires on the pickup, which are way larger than the stock size. Do you think this could possibly just be confusing the pcm into thinking there is a problem that really isn't there? I believe the vehicle gets its speed input from the rear differential, so the speedometer and other speed factors would theoretically be off due to the larger tires. I know for a fact that the speedometer is slow by about 5 mph now, when it used to be spot on with stock tires. So maybe the pcm thinks the torque converter should be locking up sooner/later (not sure which one) than it is due to the speed differences? I don't know, I just wanted to throw that out there.

Hello, I have a 1998 Ram 1500 4x4 5.2L. I recently replaced the Governor Sensors on my transmission and it solved my "1-2 No Shift" issue. However, now i am having a problem with the 3 to 4 shift. When shifting from 3 to 4 my transmission will drop into 2nd for a second, then back into 3rd briefly, then finally it will shift into 4th. So shift sequence looks like this, 1,2,3,2,3,4. It also feels like my transmission is not engaging all the way, like it may be slipping or dragging or holding back. I know it could be a fuel pressure issue, i'm going to look into that as well. From a dead stop, when i hit the gas the truck feels like it has power, when it shifts into second gear, it feels like the trans is dragging or not fully engaging. I did also replace the accumulator spring with the Governor sensors and replaced the front band and adjusted both bands. Any help would be appreciated.
