100% Great Information I just applied this to my 2006 Ram 2500 today on Easter morning! It works like a charm and let's just say it took me longer to get my tools put away then I did to do the job!!!!!

[@tecate9408]

Crawled under my 95 1500 ram today after pulling pan and fluid a week ago. replaced filter and adjusted bands as well. 1 quart of Lucas stop slip plus filtered remains of old ATF, ran in neutral and what do you know it moves again. So happy because local shop said I needed new trans after saying they don't work on. Your description was helpful. I test drove around neighborhood and seems ok so far, Ill know more once I get it out on the hwy.

[@ReignitedAuto]

Good work! 💪

[@MM_in_Havasu]

My '67 Cuda has a 340 LA engine w/727 TF trans, "hemi" bands and internals(just RV spec HD parts), always set both lo-reverse and high bands when servicing to the 426 hemi specs, according to the trans builder who set this unit up. This car leaves about 30 ft. of rubber on a full throttle 1-2 shift as well, thanks to some good valve body mods and line pressure adjustment. Excellent tutorial, many newer transmissions are all electronically controlled and not as many folks are aware of mechanical adjustments these days!

[@ReignitedAuto]

Yep, this was one of the last transmissions with bands to adjust. I find it hilarious that to make it a 4spd trans they just took a 3spd trans and bolted another gear on the back of it! 😅

I have the problem you explained. I thought it was my torque converter. Nope. Mine slips out of 1st gear going into 2nd 90% of the time. But once it gets into 2nd I am good to go. I will be adjusting the band tomo. Thank you for your awesome video. And yes I like the white board explanation.

[@scottiopizza7565]

Using the whiteboard to explain the function of a transmission band certainly helped explain what was going on inside the transmission when adjustment is needed. Back in the day a band adjustment was part of a trans service; showing my age..LOL

[@ReignitedAuto]

While it did work for many years, I personally find the band actuation to be such a terribly flawed design. I have no idea how that persisted for so long! 😄

Thanks for the video. I have a 95 Ram 1500 with the 46rh. I was told it needs the solenoids replaced. I have looked everywhere and only found videos and parts for the 46rE and not sure if the solenoids are interchangeable. I'm going to try this band adjustment first. If it works then I don't have to rack my brain trying to figure out if RH and RE are the same. Thanks again!

Precautions the solid info homes straight to the point and so far the only one that got straight to one of the common issues with the 46re 47,and 48res

[@MakersAcres]

Thank you for the info. I am going to try this, but I also have a couple other problems. I have a 2006 Ram 3500 with 110k miles. In addition to the problem you described, when I attach a trailer around 5000 pounds and start driving out of my driveway which is at a slight incline, it really struggles like a massive load is on it and in about 15 seconds the special overheat light shows up. I let it cool and after I start driving regularly and the transmission is actually warmed up, it seems fine. I also notice that after it sits for a couple days and I put it in drive it takes a while before it will start driving forward. Thank you for the help!

[@ReignitedAuto]

The issue where if it sits for a couple days and it takes awhile to start moving is actually completely normal, Chrysler actually gives an allowance of up to 6 seconds if you can believe that! As to your first issue, first thing I'd be looking at is the trans fluid level and condition. If the fluid is low at all that'll definitely contribute to this problem. But if the fluid is blackand smells bad then you're likely looking at a rebuild soon. 👍

[@MakersAcres]

@@ReignitedAuto Wow, 6 seconds that seems crazy. It just feels like it has been getting worse over the years. I have been changing that oil about every 15,000 miles. It still seems fine, but it is on the lower side. I did find a TSB for a bad Solenoid valve which causes some shift hunting which I do experience. When I do this I was thinking of getting one of those deep machined aluminum pans. Do you like those? Thanks again!

[@ReignitedAuto]

@@MakersAcres good find on that TSB, it most often happens under very light acceleration that it'll kind of hunt between first and second gear. Note: along with the pressure solenoid also replace the pressure transducer (pressure sensor). It's right three next to the solenoid, they are fairly cheap to replace and they also contribute to the issue. As for deep pans, I actually don't like them at all. Ostensibly their purpose is to add extra fluid so you don't overheat the stock fluid amount, but I just don't think they make a huge difference, not to mention you are now spending a bunch more on fluid, and they make it hard to know howmuch fluid to add after a service. And they usually leak like crazy too because people over tighten the crappy cork or rubber gasket they come with.

[@MakersAcres]

@@ReignitedAuto thank you very much! That is great info and I’ll replace that too!

Great video, through me off at first thought it was an ad until i realized what you did there Haha. 15 min fix for sure. currently trying to pin down an intermittent cyl 8 mis fire on 2010 ram 5.7. Your other videos had me nervous about cam but i dont have any noise and some days it will drive all day without reproducing. Only a stumble at idle only when code is thrown. Think i am going to try switching injectors first because while it stumbles at idle i can unplug the coil on cyl 8 and still gets noticeably worse. (Pass side closest to firewall) i know it sounds silly but it seems like when i remote start it triggers it faster, usually 10 seconds or less then code shows back.

[@ReignitedAuto]

Definitely go after the easier stuff first! If it is the cam/lifters you can always find that out down the road, better to start with checking the spark plugs, swap coils, swap injectors, compression test, ect.. 👍

I'm 65 now did this to my 71 Dodge Charger everytime I changed the fluid just to get the most out of the bands I was pretty rough on the old girl racing and all there is also low and reverse band adjustment on the inside of the pan but those transmissions were non computer of course the good old days by the way I still have that old Charger was my first car everything she ever had done to her I did and still do as long as I have my health

[@ReignitedAuto]

I'm always jealous of those who still have their first car. My first car was a 1971 VW superbeetle that I "restored" myself. Had a lot of issues but I loved it, was pretty fast for a bug, until it caught fire on the highway one day. Melted the entire car to the ground 😢

Would the make my transmission not have reverse ? All gears work on my truck except for reverse? Is there something I might have to check before replacing trans please give me an advice thank you .

[@rsluggy6485]

Thank you so much! While "15 minutes" is a bit optimistic for an old fat guy crawling around under a truck, the adjustment still worked for my 2004 RAM 2500 with about 138K miles. It was kind of hanging in 2nd, especially under even mildly agressive acceleration, such as a freeway entrance ramp. I found that from underneath, I could either reach the adjuster or see the adjuster, but not both, so I did it kinda half by feel. Also my particular little digital torque wrench was not readable from that angle, but it has a peak hold, so I could tighten, read the peak, tighten, read the peak, etc, until I reached 72 in/lb.

[@Luna-dt1nt]

thats what my 97 dodge ram 5.9 cummins does... the 2nd gear doesn't shift properly...... there was onother video that said it could be the governor solenoid? but by watching your video hopefully it will fixed the problem excellent video.

[@grogers4277]

did it fix the problem?

[@jjames_1770]

Its 4th downshifting to third for mine. Whenever im going around 55mph-70mph and just cruising along and need to accell it likes to hold fourth and like slip some and accelerate very lazy instead of downshifting if you try to accel normal. But if you give it a bit more throttle more aggressively on the first initial acceleration it will wake it up down shift and accel so much faster and easier in the correct lower gear.

[@mrsamsung8184]

[@cembellsteve]

Great content . As always I enjoy your knowledge. I have 1 question. When I am coming to a full stop. I can watch my RPMs fall to lower than 500 when the truck stops 100% . It feels like I have to press the breaks harder, as it wants to power through the breaking.

[@ReignitedAuto]

This would just be an educated guess, but occasionally I've seen the torque converter clutch have trouble releasing fully, and this can cause issues like the one you're describing. The only fix is replacing the torque converter. Again though, this is just an option, is would get it professionally diagnosed before spending any money. 👍

[@LarryReynolds591]

Any tips for extending the life of the RFE transmissions? I have the 65

[@ReignitedAuto]

The 65 is actually a pretty solid trans, my only advice would be to make sure you're doing trans services every 30k miles, and I mean actually dropping the pan and replacing both filters. And make sure you're actually using the tow/haul mode if you're towing. Most common failure I saw is the overdrive is kind of weak, and will burn up easy if you are towing and not using the tow strategy. 👍

[@LarryReynolds591]

@@ReignitedAuto Awesome! Thanks! When i bought my truck last year they had replaced the trans cooler lines when it was traded. Should I assume it was serviced as you describe then?

Likely not, the lines are easily replaced without doing a trans service, and if they can save the money they won't do it.

Unfortunately, once that fork falls down you have to remove the valve body to reinstall it. On the plus side, once you're there you can actually put your eyes on the band itself and see if it's worn out or not. 👍

Thanks for posting this video, will get on it this weekend. I do have a question for you. Just FYI I had tranny rebuilt under 1k miles it's past warranty and had taken it back 3 times. Ran perfect last time. Vehicle 2001 ram 1500 5.2L single cab Now I was on the highway and noticed it started to go in and out on overdrive from 3rd to 4th. Speed was 65 to 70 max, not driving hard and only additional weight was the regular old campershell. Got off highway and just took side streets to get home. Turn on next morning with cold engine in park. Dash light of od flashes on and off as well as light for tranny overheating. Any suggestions. I'm thinking governor but will try this approach you present 1st. Thanks once again

[@TaviahMillett]

Looked at mine and it seems previous owner screwed the stud in flush and then welded, or jb welded the lock nut to the stud since it couldn't thread on... So How much would this be roughly for someone to rebuild? Would it be cheaper to just get a new one and put it in myself? Was supposed to be a rebuilt stage 3 trans in it, not sure if the guy was lying. 2006 Cummins

[@ReignitedAuto]

I hate hearing about sketchy stuff that was done like that, sorry to hear your having to deal with it. The tricky part is that if you remove that stud entirely there's a fork that falls out of place and you'll have to remove the valve body to put it back in. It's not that tricky to do, but if you don't feel confident doing so I would absolutely take it to a shop. That being said, if the stud is already turned in so far it's flush with the case then it's likely due for a rebuild anyway. Sorry I don't have better news.

[@ReignitedAuto]

Only on take off? Sometimes if a driveline U-joint is starting to fail it will shudder on take off, or under certain load situations. I'd probably pull the rear driveshaft out to check them both (usually it's the rear one) If that's not it then we can dive deeper. 👍

Ok next up I'd suspect an issue with either the trans pressure transducer or pressure solenoid. I generally replace both at the same time, it's a relatively simple swap, but you do have to pull the trans pan to do it.

Great video. I have a 2007 dodge 2500 5.7L (545RFE Auto trans I believe). Would this transmission also have a similar band adjustment and is the procedure the same? Not sure if this is my exact issue (I have high rpm when I kick down into lower gear but lack power). Thanks for any help you can pass on and yes your white board description gave me a perfect visual of how the mechanism worked.

[@ReignitedAuto]

Unfortunately the 545 is a completely different architecture, and this tip won't apply. What gears specifically are you having issues with?

[@PJM454]

Not exactly sure if it is all of them or just the lower gears as it is not insured right now. When I did do some research on it, from the videos I watched it seemed like the issue was the clutch plates worn out. It makes a bit of a groaning noise while driving it normally on the flat ground but when I kicked the throttle down to go up a hill, the RPM's would jump up to 5000 plus but it would not have the power for that high of RPM's. This was last summer and I figured at the time it needed a rebuild but would probably be cheaper to look for a used rebuilt transmission which seem difficult to find right now for some reason beyond me. I live in BC, Canada but seem to only find rebuilt online in the US. Any suggestions on the best root of wether this is a rebuild or a cheaper fix? Thanks for listening to my ramble.

I just bought a 04 5.7 ram with the 545rfe and it want shift into any gets but first neutral reverse and park. And it will pull first and second if I manually put it in 2nd.

Dan I wasn't planning on doing a video for the rear band. To be honest, in over 10 years of being a trans tech I've only ever seen the rear band fail once, and they're almost never out of adjustment, they are much stronger and wear much less than the front band. I bet I can tell you exactly what's wrong with your overdrive though! The snap ring on the top of the O/D unit starts to snap into several pieces, the unit still functions, but will exhibit a flare like you mentioned. Neat thing about the O/D unit is that it can be removed with the trans still in the vehicle. 👍

[@qb1839]

I'm back again looking for any advise on my 02 4.7 2wd. For over 5 years the trans will not work until it seems the fluid makes its way around the cooler. Once it runs for a few seconds, it works fine for the rest of the day until it sits for hours. I changed the filter inside the trans with a Mopar trans filter and seemed to help just a little at the time, but, really the same. I only use it for a few months during the winter as a second car. 140k miles.

[@ReignitedAuto]

Ya, that's kind of a classic issue with those trucks. The drain back valve in the torque converter starts leaking back down when the engine is off so it takes a little bit to fill the torque converter back up when you first start it. A good way to check this is to let it sit overnight them check the fluid level before starting it. Normally it will be above the full mark when not running, but if the converter is leaking back it'll be way up the stick. Unfortunately the only fix is a new torque converter. Chrysler actually has a specification for this that says anything up to 6 seconds before the vehicle moves is normal! 😄

[@qb1839]

What would cause the newer 8 speed transmission to do this on a 2015 ram 1500? Mostly slips on cold take off.

[@ReignitedAuto]

I have to say, that's pretty rare. You don't normally see slipping issues with the 8spd trans it's a really solid trans overall. I would say if you are experiencing slippage on cold take offs, definitely check your fluid level first. If it's low by a fair amount you'll experience slipping. If you need any info on how to check it let me know. 👍

[@stuarthoffman5065]

Is there a factory recommended mileage interval for this procedure?

[@ReignitedAuto]

Technically the front and rear bands should be adjusted every time a trans service is done, basically every 30k miles. But I've seen trucks with 190k on them that it's obvious it's never been adjusted. 👍

How can one find out what transmission is? 46,47,48 RE is it written somewhere? Thank you for your video.

What year/ model is your vehicle?

[@jonraimondi]

@@ReignitedAuto I have a 1998 Dodge Ram 1500 5.2L V8 Laramie. No 4x4, and its standard cab. How can I figure out the model of transmission? Thank you very much for this. It's greatly appreciated!!

[@rle4806]

I have a 2002 Dodge Durango sport with the 4.7 v8 I'm having a problem when I drive it shifts normal but if I go to pass somebody I stomp on it and the RPMs kick up high and it won't shift unless I let up and then it won't shift properly could that be my solenoids going out it's never done it before it just started doing it

[@benhinrichs9262]

If the band is to tight could it cause a 48re to slam into 2nd from 3rd gear?

[@Aciecarter238]

Mt trans doesnt have the t40 torx. Its a bolt head. Which trans is that? It has the solid metal solenoid not the plastic one. Has the round plug not the long square one

[@alvarocabral4053]

My truck dodge ram 2004 3 and 4 gears jumping any advice please

[@ReignitedAuto]

Best advice I can give is there might be an issue with the overdrive unit. On your teams the overdrive is a separate housing that bolts to the back of the trans, inside that unit there's a small ring that likes to fracture into a bunch of pieces, if it comes apart enough then the clutch discs will get burned up and it'll have trouble holding 4th gear. One situation anyway. Unfortunately it requires disassembly to verify.

[@thedeathwobblechannel6539]

My truck won't go to first when D is selected.. sometimes it will down shift from D, but I need to manually shift to 1st then 2 and D. Is this the pressure transducer? Inside the pan under a guard? Thanks. Also, should I even try the band adjustment?

[@thedeathwobblechannel6539]

Hey I wanted to add the gear to gear shifting in this transmission is firm not too quick , not slow and sloppy. The manual shifting is just fine like it's always been I just can't get first every time and drive it tries to take off in second gear. When I'm in a light I can feel something downshifting I think cuz you're not feels like there's more torque in the truck wants to creep forward. But when I go it's still not in first gear.

[@scrapbaby6863]

Have 2001 ram 2500 diesel when making left turns the engine revs like its in neutral and after turn is complete the tranny or rear end grabs again and truck is ok ever hear of this?

[@ReignitedAuto]

I have experienced this in a chevy with an Allison trans before. Check your trans fluid level, if it's low you could run into a situation where the trans fluid sloshes to one side of the pan or another and temporarily loses prime. Sounds dumb, but it could very well be causing your issue. 👍

[@davidbryant5875]

Can you do this adjustment on the 2011 ram ?

[@ReignitedAuto]

Nope, they went away from this style transmission in mid 2006

[@homeroaguilar6163]

Hello. Sir, how are you? I have a question for you , do you know if the number outside of the transmission bell housing is important when you change the transmission with used one ? Cause my transmission has priblems and I wanna replace with a used one, mine has this number 064-2 (98 dodge ram 1500 4x4) and I found one from a 97 4x4 as wel but has this number 064-9 in the transmission bell housing, thanks in advance and hopefully I can get answers from you, thank you an I appreciated

[@SeanDIY]

Mine is a 2006 and it shifts slowly. If I go into reverse it's about 5 seconds before it catches gear. Then I stop and go to second and also a few seconds. If I hit the gas before it catches it kind of jerks.

[@ReignitedAuto]

First thing I'd be looking at is the fluid level. What you're mentioning sounds a lot like low fluid issues.

[@SeanDIY]

@@ReignitedAuto Thanks, it seems to be better since I put more fluid in. The vehicle has 247k miles and I don't know much of its history other than I got it at 241k.

[@joesalazar770]

A question I have the slipping under moderate load bands have never been adjusted. But I had the truck from about 9000 miles on. Trans fluid changed every 16 20 k it slips under moderate load and tries to skip 2nd gear all together. Slightly burned fluid recently. Could this be the issue or is it time to rebuild the trans or replace with reman. The truck has 122k on it and has seldom been driven without hauling a trailer of at least 2000 pounds behind it any info would be great.

[@extreme-xr9yt]

Awesome, worked well! Thank you for the video

[@SDP_5.9]

So i raced a guy from a dig brand new transmision done to 600 hp and it slipped down to first after about one second in 2nd gear any ideas let out and it just ripped in a straight line no slipping after

[@Skydiggz]

Just bought a 2001 Ram 1500 for a work truck and it seems to not to want to go into 2nd gear. Feels like it did a few times on the drive home but only after 3500rpm but I couldn’t get it up to speed in the city. I had to let up on the gas to get it to switch gears. Could this trick fix that?

[@ReignitedAuto]

Yes sir 👍

[@andee1270]

Hello.. I have that same transmission 2005 Cummins. I feel going from 1st to a 2nd gear, 2nd to a 3rd gear it locks afterwards to that last gear I feel. Not sure what gear it is but that is my highway gear I guess. 2200rpm @70mph. I feel it shifting only twice never goes over 1700rpms if driving easy on the pedal. Am I suppose to feel it shifting 3 times since it’s a 4 speed/gear trans. If yes not sure what gear is missing. Thanks

[@WWRT88w]

What about holding on to second with a 47rh with new apply piston and accumulator piston? I did this adjustment and it improved 2nd gear, but now it doesn't want to shift 3rd without very light throttle or rev high and back off of the throttle? I'm thinking of adjusting again a little looser.

[@rylohcalzone9352]

check your throttle valve cable, behind the throttle linkage on top of the engine, it goes down to the trans

[@jasweett]

I just purchased a 2000 Dakota for my son, The guy I bought it from said it had codes 1763 and 1764, Basically no 1st gear unless manually shifting through the gears then all worked fine? I replace complete kit including internal harness and codes gone and all shifted through all gears. But now when going from 1st to 2nd it surges until I lift throttle to engage 2nd. This sounds like what you are describing but not sure? No more codes just the second gear thing? Thanks in advance!!!

[@rowdawg4734]

Thanks for your video , I'm having issues with the 46RE in Dodge Ram 1500 , code trip is P1740 error in tcc or O/D solenoid . Truck is not shifting from first gear and slips out of first gear and just revs like it's in neutral while I drive it . I researched and thought I found the solution - replace the TCC solenoid but when I dropped the pan there's a piece of what looks like a ring on the magnet . I stopped the job . Are you able to help figure this out ? Thank you

[@ReignitedAuto]

That's an older problem we don't see much of anymore. If it's what I'm thinking, the ring you are seeing is part of the overdrive clutch snap ring. The snap ring fractures into several pieces until they are small enough to fall out. At this point overdrive can no longer engage. Only fix is to remove the overdrive unit from the back of the trans, which can be done with the trans still in the vehicle. Once out, you'll have to install a new snap ring, and it can be tricky to reassemble the overdrive unit properly. If you don't get all the clutch plates aligned properly it won't go back onto the trans properly.

[@alecdedman5522]

What about slipping from second to 3rd gear problem- slips in between but when rpm’s come down it engages ???

[@Jacoby559]

Does this also come in to play when out of nowhere you lose second gear, drop the pan and see the fork on the bottom of the pan. or do you think the thing on the other side of the band is bent or something

[@ReignitedAuto]

Jacob that usually happens when the front band is worn so badly that the fork falls out of place. Usually when you see that it's time for a rebuild 👍

[@Bluediesal1978]

Help. I have a 2000 dodge ram 2500 turbo cummins need specs on calibration of band adjustment.

[@ReignitedAuto]

Back the lock nut off 3-5 turns, tighten band adjusting screw to 72 INCH lbs, then back it off 1 7/8 turns and tighten the lock nut. 👍

[@hassiri]

I have a 2012 300c v8 .5.7 it didn’t take the 3rd nor the 4th gear when i floor it and the engine light would start flashing while that slip is happening and keeps going for few seconds after. Recently I rebuilt the engine, and that transmission issue just disappeared for no apparent reason 😂 I wish I can understand what happened. Any ideas ?

[@ReignitedAuto]

I have a pretty good guess. The issue was actually the engine the whole time. Sounds like the engine was misfiring badly, thus the CEL flashing, and when this happens the engine cannot generate the RPM necessary to tell the trans to shift. I've seen it happen on older cummins powered trucks, the fuel filter becomes so restricted that the engine won't RPM enough to shift. Could be an option anyway...

[@yellowjacket3840]

I have the 06 Ram 1500 2 wd my problem is when i first start my truck and drop it into drive or reverse the tranny takes at least 6-8 seconds to move the truck its like the tranny is in pause mode until it decides to engage what can be causing this problem?

[@myvideotablemyvideotable528]

have a different vehicle . its automatic transmission6 speed. when i am going from 4th to 5th gear, it seems to be clinging to the 4th. revs up and then goes to 5th. could this be a band issue?

Great video man cool 😎

[@robbieluckett6608]

Does this only work from 1st to second gear? I'm having the same problem but from 2nd to 3rd gear. I've noticed I'm having to let the engine tack to about 3-4000 rpms then let off the gas slightly and then it will shift

Is it securely engaging second gear, just late shifting to third?
