Replacing the Transmission Shift Solenoid 2005 Dodge Ram 5.7 Hemi

My 2005 Dodge Ram 1500 5.7 Hemi was going into limp mode causing the transmission to get “stuck” in 4th gear. I had to shut it off and turn it back on for it to work properly again. Got tired of it and decided to replace the transmission shift solenoid which fixed the problem. I also replaced the Transmission Fluid filters while I was in there. Hope this video helps! Thanks for watching.

[@wildwest9395]

For those embarking on this project. Buy an oil vacuum pump with the small 1/4" tube. you stick the tub down the trans filler tube and the other end into a drain pan or large jug and suck the atf out of the pan. It make for a WAY cleaner job. Also makes "draining" the pan and topping off to change atf very easy. I run a cheap $30 unit.

[@jakemason9436]

I did mine last month. Fluid and filter change in my 65RFE. Added a drain plug too. The flat filter seal should be seated off of the the filter as it requires quite a bit of even pressure. If not it does not seat you will be taking the pan off soon. Lol.

Hey great video. Following exactly what you did there but have to wait to install tomorrow night after work don’t have a small torque wrench just a big half inch drive lowest it goes is 10 foot pounds. When you were doing the torque on the Solenoid you said put the bolts back in at 50 lbs. I had a blond moment and went to tighten mine down at 50 lbs.!thank GOD the bit broke and not the bolt. Then on further research I found out it’s 50 inch lbs. the bolts are small I should of clued in to that. Like I said glad the bolt didn’t break. Regardless great video keep going make some more.

[@myownm8898]

Nice upload…thank you!!! For those whom don’t know, the 545rfe & 45rfe is the exact same transmission…the difference is the TCU/TCM under the hood…if you have a 45rfe TCU/TCM you can swap it out with any jeep or dodge 545rfe TCM/TCU and your 4 speed is now a 5 speed. No updates or reprogramming necessary it is a simple plug and play. Why do this? Well, for better gas mileage of course…you should see a 300-500 rpm drop at 55-70mph…what I mean is, you’ll have lower rpm’s no matter what speed…but if you pay attention to your rpm values at 55 or 70 mph before the swap, check them after and you’ll see the difference. This is for 2001 & up ONLY…if you have a 2000 and down you’ll have issues with your ECU/ECM…it can still be done to the 2000 but, you’ll have to take it to a dealership or anyone whom can reprogram the ECM/ECU to handle the upgrade. If you don’t feel like swapping out the TCM/TCU you can take your vehicle to a dealership and they’ll upgrade the software from the 45rfe to the 545rfe…costs around $90-$100 but a used TCM/TCU from the salvage yard…$30-$50…I think $30-$50 dollars is well worth the money for a 4-5 miles per gallon increase. This in regards to the 4.7l v8…not sure about the 3.7l v6…but I’d surmise it’d be the same…maybe even a bit better. ;-) As for the 5.7l v8 with the 545rfe trans & TCU/TCM…those can be upgraded from a 5 to a 6 speed with a software upgrade… SIDE NOTE: Some highly unknown information about the 545 & 45rfe transmissions…Apparently these are capable of 8 speed forward gears and 3 speed in reverse…yes, you read that correctly…that’s with what is your transmission right now…we just don’t have the ability because no one’s typed of a software program for an upgrade with which to do it…anybody up for the challenge?!?!?! There are only two bolts and a nut holding the TCM/TCU in place unless you’re counting the harness. This is very easy to get to, open your hood and it sets on the left side bank/passenger side, right on top…little silver or corroded aluminum depending on the shape it’s in.

I'm about to replace the shift solenoid on my '08 as well, and I've noticed a lot of comments in this video asking if their issue could be this. Even though it's still money out of your pocket, it's a good idea to have a pro mechanic do a diagnostic before you try this repair. It could be a bad wire harness instead of the solenoid, and then you just spent a lot of money for nothing

how did you get the clip off i get the red tags down? are there more than one red clip that you slide with a screw driver?

[@dinkbuster1]

So you say it was getting stuck in 4th gear, meaning it wasn't going into overdrive? I think I might have the same problem you had. I've parked my truck for now until I can figure out what's going on. Replaced all kinds of sensors, code keeps coming up p0700, po871 transmission shift solenoid code. It started after I done some engine work mysteriously. If I do a reset where you take the battery cables off and do the whole deal with the key and the accelerator to the floor it shifts great the next two times I drive it then it goes back to missing overdrive, can't take it on the highway because of 50 miles an hour it will be 2500 rpm and I don't want to drive it like that. Everything is pointing to the shift solenoid but I'm still looking for answers before I buy one. Hopefully you'll respond to this and tell me if that's the same problem you were having.

From the FSM: CAUTION: The primary oil filter seal MUST be fully installed flush against the oil pump body. DO NOT install the seal onto the filter neck and attempt to install the filter and seal as an assembly. Damage to the transmission will result.

Mind me asking what symptoms you would get and what damage it could cause?

[@ls4.8frank]

Unless the seal got broken and sucked up into the transmission then it wouldn't do any damage at all. All it means is that the fluid would not all be filtered as some of it would be leaking by the filter o-ring seal and into the pan.

What was the code you were getting that made you do this and what was the trans doing?

[@franciscoalvarado2069]

I’m getting a p0700 transmission control (mil request) and p0733 gear 3 incorrect gear ratio

[@franciscoalvarado2069]

Could the shift Solenoid be the problem?

@@franciscoalvarado2069 did u ever find the issue ?

Did you ever find out the problem?

[@coreyharris9510]

Why did you replace the shift solenoid? What were your symptoms?

[@elifernandez3769]

Normally trans won't shift or it will shift like mine but won't shift past 2nd gear.

[@rellwill8954]

@@elifernandez3769 Did changing this help fix this problem? Im having the same problem not shifting past 2nd reving really high in 2nd

[@elifernandez3769]

@@rellwill8954 I haven't got a chance to do it yet. But most videos and threads online seem to point to this as the fix. Especially if your trans was shifting fine before.

@@elifernandez3769 Thanks I just bought a used trans hopefully this one last me another 100k

[@CloroxBleach-jv4by]

Eli Fernandez mine shifts high in second to third and now it’s stuck in limp mode 4th gear 👺😩

[@josecamacho4001]

What was the problem that you had to replace the selenoid

[@exhilaratingbass]

I would be driving and then it would shift into 4th gear randomly and wouldn’t come out. I had to shut it off and turn it back on to reset it

[@FranciscoSanchez-ft6gv]

Did code p0700 pop up is that Why you replace it

[@exhilaratingbass]

I think it threw 2 codes but I don’t remember exactly. I know it was getting stuck in 4th gear

[@mikedchannel468]

Is used trans oil carcinogenic or not ? This video would make it appear not

[@exhilaratingbass]

Long way to say I gave myself cancer? How many transmission shops get their workers admitted to cancer treatment? I figure you’re probably from California.

[@bryankaminsky6491]

Where did you get the solenoid from?

[@exhilaratingbass]

Rock auto, sorry for the late reply

[@charleslake25]

Did you have problems not goin into first no downshifts or overdrive. And codes p0700 po725 and p0138

[@dustincolson7349]

You cut the video when it showed how you popped out the top of the transmission shifter sensor after you undid the clip. I'm having problems getting that off

[@dustincolson7349]

U suggestions

[@shawnnelson9778]

My dodge is doing the same thing works fine for the first 5min of driving then suddenly starts acting up downshifts on highway and no power or torque at stops but once I turn the truck off and back on no more issues lol
