How to Fix an Automatic Transmission That Won't Shift - Replace Pressure Solenoid, Fluid and Filter

Рет қаралды 2,406,909

Күн бұрын

In this video I will be working on a Dodge Ram 1500 that has an Automatic transmission that won't shift past 1st gear, it has a check engine light and the code is P1756 (Governor Pressure Not Equal to Target at 15-20 PSI). I will show you how you can replace this solenoid and also how you can service your automatic transmission as well.

Just want to say Thank You. Your video saved us $10,000 that is what the Dealer wanted to replace the transmission in our 2004 2500 Dodge truck. My husband and I are both 73 years old we were able to follow your video step by step and now the transmission is working again. Thank you kathy

Dude, thank you. this totally fixed an issue I've had for 4 years. all the mechanics I've gone to said it was the head. I said no way. You're wonderful. did the same on 2 other vehicles and pretty much the same issues. it fixed them. Single mom of 6 with 3 teen drivers. please keep doing your videos. you're very good at doing it.

i just finished doing this procedure on my dodge durango. i was hesitant to do it because my my scanner didn't give me any codes telling me anything was wrong, but all the symptoms you described were there, thank you for you detailed video. I'm happy that I did the job myself because had a mechanic quote me a price for $500 parts and labor. and so far I'm $104 in parts. I say so far because i broke one of the bolts, but that least of my worries now that I know that my trans is going to be okay.

How can so many people dislike this video? It's an informational video about a specific vehicle. It's to expand your knowledge. If it doesn't pertain to you, why watch it at all? I don't even own a dodge. I'm here to learn and expand my knowledge about the general mechanics of an automatic transmission. Don't dislike a video like this. It makes no sense

A neat trick I recently learned from another channel is to use a few cable ties through some of the bolt holes to hold the gasket in place on the pan. Once you have all the other bolts in place cut the cable ties pull them out and put in the final bolts. I guess RTV holds it in place too but it's not always necessary to use RTV.

Thanks for this video. I bought a '97 Dodge Ram 1500 8 cylinder three years ago. (love it, a real workhorse). Just recently, at 100,000 miles the transmission began to slip, but mostly won't go into overdrive. Sometimes it does - sometimes it doesn't. The gas mileage is still the same, though. So, I'm going to get brave and replace the pressure solenoid myself. Listing the tools you used is a big help - I like tools. Thanks again - great job on this video.

That code just refers that you have a transmission problem, it doesn't specify what it is. Look at the description for that code in the scanner, if it doesn't tell you a specific problem like "pressure too low" or something like that, take it to an auto parts place and have the check engine light checked, they'll give you a full diagnose of the problems

I have heard from others these two parts(solenoid AND pressure sensor) are the first you should replace and also the trans speed sensor('99 uses only one). Thanks! Mike in LA, Calif, USA

Cool Video. I have the 1998 Dodge Ram 1500 4x4 with 5.9 Eng and Eng light came on after jumping over a few road bumps, as a result, I got Eng light with 2 code P 1756 and P 0740. So, In search, i saw your video and from start follow what you recommend....... Start the truck with Eng light still on, checked the trans Oil 3 times, it was at the level where it should be, Than i went and shift the gear from P to N then to D after 5 seconds to 1 after 5 seconds to 2,...move the truck little bit each time on that gear and guess what? My Eng light went away! So, Happy. From now on i would go slow on the road bumps. This true, I am not kidding. Eng light went away. Even if in the future i have to go and change it, I would owe it to you for your great Video.

I know this is far past the 32h question time (1 mo), but what would you think to check first for an engine click on an 03 Toyota Avalon, alongside possible power loss and occasional shuddering that vibrates the whole dash? I'm thinking it's a combination of oil gelling and something with the VVT-i, but I'm not sure at all and I don't have the tools to check. Also, when my battery dies the alternator clicks rapidly instead of attempting to turn. Is that a sign of a good, high grip belt or a bad alternator, which might also explain the battery parasite issue I'm having with it? I need external input before I decide to dig deeper on my own.
