Mike's Garage: E19 - 1997 Dodge Ram Transmission Repair

Today I walk through the process of repairing a shift linkage and replacing a transmission pan gasket on a 1997 Dodge Ram 1500.

Thank you for posting this video. Helpful. I'm having a time trying to figure out the linkage issue on my 01 ram and the linkage sure is the issue

[@scuba602]

How did you luck into having the shift linkage just fall into perfect place after unhooking it?

[@b8ascrub]

Does the bolt on the kick down lever need to come off for the lever to remove? I tried this today and could not get the kick down lever off. I assume that needs to come off for the shift lever to be removed. Do you just pry it straight up??

[@MikesGarageWorks]

Sorry for the late response. The bolt has to come off.

I have a 1996 dodge ram van b2500 v6 what is the part number for the transmission shift link bushing and where you get it from thanks for any help having the same problem

[@MikesGarageWorks]

Lookup PN 74040 on rockauto. I believe that is the one you need.
