Do you own a 1996-2006 Ram truck with a 4spd automatic transmission? Is your second gear slipping? This video shows you a 15 minute procedure that could fix or prevent this issue from happening, and the best part is, it costs $0!
I see this issue constantly with the 46-48RE transmissions. People come in all the time with a concern that second gear slips, and sometimes they want to trade the vehicle in, I want to show that it could be something very simple, no need to give up on that old Dodge just yet!

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!

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! 😅

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

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.

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. 👍

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 2 жыл бұрын

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 2 жыл бұрын

@@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 2 жыл бұрын

@@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.

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. 👍

Throwing codes but also found to have been overfilled by previous owner. Im praying that it was by mistake and not by intentionally deviance. Im a gm and toyota fan but unbelievably love this truck enough to try to keep it. Plan to remove trans fluid to correct level one way or another. Cannot find a drain plug it's either non existent or if what I found isn't just part the casting, maybe an unused feature on mine than others, or I found it and its snapped off in the core. With my misfortune somehow it will be the last, if not all three. Thanks for the answers in advanced!!! It will decide whether I fix it.

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 2 жыл бұрын

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

@PJM454 2 жыл бұрын

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. I changed the trans fluid fillters solenoid and pan. Still same issue now just shifts a little smoother. When in second. I have the speed sensors and the pressure sensor on the way. I seen an other video of yours said it might be the torque converter. Will have to drop the trans to change it or do you think it's something else?

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

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

@ReignitedAuto 3 жыл бұрын

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. 👍

Any check engine light when this occurs? If not, have you checked the fluid level and condition? These transmission's are pretty sensitive to low fluid levels. If the fluid is black or smells burned then it's time to price out a new one. Cheaper to buy a new one than rebuild the old one.

Hi Reignited, the car had shown "Input/Shaft Speed Sensor No Signal" error and was recently fixed. The professional was not speaking English well and all I understood is that the input/shaft gear had to be adjusted to always send the signal to the "Input/Shaft Speed Sensor". I wonder could what you explained in the video (although the car might be different) be what he actually did to solve the problem. I would appreciate if you can point me in the right direction.

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. 👍

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.

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.

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!!!

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 2 жыл бұрын

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 2 жыл бұрын

@@ReignitedAuto Thank you, I always wondered what the fix was for it. I bought the truck new and the only major things wrong was this and the rear differential had to be rebuilt only 6 years after I had it and Chrysler would not reimburse at the time.

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 3 жыл бұрын

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. 👍

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 2 жыл бұрын

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...

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 8 ай бұрын

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.
