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

This video explains how to replace a defective Transmission Pressure/Overdrive Solenoid Assembly on 1992 to 1995 Dodge RAM Pick-up Trucks.
To be able to remove this Solenoid Assembly it is necessary to remove the Transmission Oil Pan and the Accumulator Housing.
This video is also useful for a person that wants to learn how to replace the Automatic Transmission Filter on Dodge RAM Trucks.
The Truck used during this video is a 1995 Dodge RAM 1500 2wd Equipped with a 46RH Automatic Transmission and 5.9 L Engine also known as 360. ( 360 ci displacement) These steps also apply to Dodge RAM Trucks Equipped with a 42RH Automatic Transmission, and R and R steps for 47RH Automatic Transmission in case the Pressure Solenoid is defective.

Do you have a video about the transmission shifting problems might I watch it My transmission won't shift out of first and now it slipps alot I put Lucas tyranny stuff in it yesterday and it started doing this. It did not have a problem until I put it I n.

[@juansalazar1766]

Mine is taking off in a high gear low 1 is not working transmission oil looks good and smelly good

[@michaelknight4041]

[@diamonddetail2553]

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.

[@Vivovivo-du9fp]

Speed sensor can cause late shifting? I have a proble. The second to third shift late. Always. Unless i drop the foot

[@Robert1546_Sea]

Does it cause the truck to stay in 4th gear?

[@riggafrank]

Mine is starting in 4th year also. Would this solenoid cause that?

[@desmonddeshawncannonjr2011]

It happened to me just yesterday so

[@michaelknight4041]

​@@riggafranksame here. 01 ram 1500. Code says pressure control solenoid wire broken or shorted. I dont know if its a wire or the solenoid itself. Trying to do some tracing but its a pain

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.

[@TheRichardsons0123]

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.

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 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.

[@naokidesjardins3035]

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

[@fabienrousselot7460]

I tried to find a kit that includes a spring but couldn't find it online. Any recommendations please?

[@teqex2534]

@@fabienrousselot7460 yea on eBay they sell the whole kit I just bought one myself

[@ThomasAndersonbsf]

which spring, I found the one in the accumulator was busted but also saw that, that spring is prone to breaking so even if it's not broken it was recommended on forums to replace it anyway to avoid having to open again soon after repair to replace it, but are you talking about another spring, also what was the problem you had that replacing this fixed? (I am having an issue with the 1-2 gears not engaging (intially it would occassionally engage, but now it wont at all after replacing the piston rings and spring on the 3-4 accumulator and I am still trying to find info on how to test my solenoids to see if they even work or are gummed up, I tested the resistance to make sure they were not completely shorted out from a wire burning out, and still have continuity with like 32.9ohms on each soo.

[@cotton123ful]

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.

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...

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..

Wat code reader did u use to clear the code

[@matthewwilliams5308]

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

[@missincredible6087]

Only do this if your transmission fluid is still pink. I’m changing mine! 1999 Dodge Ram 1500 5.2 my transmission pan looks 👀 different from this one

[@gerardogonzalez3582]

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

[@dylanm9948]

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?

[@fabienrousselot7460]

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

[@juang6803]

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

[@tecate9408]

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!

[@MrDalegray]

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?

[@asoiu133u]

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?

[@desiraeandchrisrichardson5977]

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

[@Foodie_888]

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.

[@w8what575]

An Altima …😕 those have different types of transmissions and what ur stating is a common problem in the 2008 and newer models ….just thought I’d share that with u…my son had the same car and same issue…he end d up selling it cuz it would have been too much for him to afford it repair

[@jasonclaeys533]

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

[@rcassidywork]

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?

[@jasondean5960]

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 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

[@jeffschmidt4795]

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

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

[@melkerekstromer1398]

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?

[@jsaddler012345]

do I need the computer to operate the transmission

[@PerfectQue]

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?

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

[@georgetaylor8535]

My 99 2wd 1500 5.2 litre is doing the same thing to the point where it won't move at all then I turn it off the start and it will go. I know its not the transmission itself because when I turn off and start again I can burn rubber until it gradually goes out of gear. Did you ever fix your truck? If so what was the problem? Let me know my friend.

[@fstarockaburns425]

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!

[@kubi200540]

Did you get to fixed it? What was the outcome

[@josephmitchell8283]

Itappears as though the Ram transmissions are having various different issues. Mine doesn't engage in any of the forward gears or reverse. I changed bothe filters about two years ago and not a drop leaking in that time. Im I changed the three sensors on the outside. Now I may just got in and replace everything thats changable under the pan and see what happens. If I have to go the junk-yard used route I can put everuything that I switched into the new used one. anyone have any thoughts/experience on this please let me know.

[@Jeff-lb4gv]

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
