It shifts and runs well in all gears but at highway speeds it seem to slip in and out of overdrive. I'm so disgusted right now that I'm thinking of going to FL anyway. I will be towing 8k on the way back. I'm thinking throttle position sensor. Am I correct?
Well I finally got around to changing the governor pressure solenoid and governor pressure sensor. Works like a charm now. YAY! If I had to point the finger at one component I would blame it on the bracket thats holds the sensor in place. The senor was VERY loose because the bracket wasn't holding it tightly in place. When I replaced the sensor the new one was loose also. I slightly bent the tabs in and now the sensor doesn't move. Thanks, Wolfer

I am going to take it to a parts store and have them run a diagnostic on it. Is there a specific analyzer they must use for this year and model? I am not convinced this is a mechanical problem with the transmission, but an electrical control problem. What types of things should I be looking at? From reading through this thread I feel my problem may be as simple as a throttle position sensor. Please Help. I'm desperate. I fear that a tranmission mechanic will recommend replacing the transmission as "cover-all" solution to this problem. Any help is greatly appreciated.
My problems seem to get worse as the transmission gets warm. It shifts fine for the first 10 - 15 miles of stop and go. I'm going to attempt to replace the throttle position sensor next. If you have any success with your transmission, please let me know since it sounds we have the exact same problem. I'll do the same...
Good Luck and Thanks!
Anyone here concur?
Would replacing the torque converter fix it or is the TCC actually inside the tranny and not in the converter?
also think I may smell antifreeze from heater is this early for a heater coil?
When I first start the truck when it is still cold and shift from p to d the transmission jumps. when the engine warms up the transmission is fine. I am not having any problems with slipping. I bought it with 61000 miles on it and don't know prev history...any thoughts
Thanks!
p.s the engine runs started to run like crap. it literally melted an egr valve in two weeks. poss. clogged cat converter or vacuum leak????
Problem: When it occurs, and only in reverse, it feels like a shutter - like I'm driving over a bunch of little speed bumps. Just returned from dealer and they said they could not reproduce concern. Ran diagnostics with no problems found.
It has done it to me cold and hot, when backing straight and backing while turning. It has only occurred in 2 wheel drive as it has seen very little 4X4 time.
I think it's a 45RFE trany. I thought it might be a servo not pulling in the reverse band but was told it doesn't have bands or drums like older trannies? Could it be an Anti-lock Brake problem?
Truck runs and shifts well otherwise. What should I tell my dealer? How can I help them find the problem?
Any help please.....Trying to fix under warranty or cover myself for after.

I have 2001 dodge 1500 2wd. Everytime I hit a nice bump the trany slips and recatches. The truck has 98000 miles and the trany oil has been changed every 30k miles. Any sujestions.

Tranny has been maintained with filter/fluid changes every 30 to 40K miles.
New VSS with no change.
Any ideas as I'm getting very frustrated.
For the most part it stops when the system warms up but it seems to be now slightly worse with colder weather or the passage of time.
Also the truck acts like it is fuel starved at times and wont go over 50 with backfire sounds from the engine. Some shudder too. After I stop and but more gas it seems to stop. Over all it does this only occasionally. I plan to inspect the fuel pump to see if ti has ever been replaced. I mention this all here only to add to the possibilities of trans problem.
After being told I needed a new transmission a year ago I drove the truck home and it shifted fine and also shifted fine the next day. I called the shop and told them to hold off on ordering a tranny. I proceeded to drive the truck without problem for about 6 months (made me think it was electrical). The problem returned and actually pointed them to a couple different sensors. I've also heard that there is a bell crank sensor that can cause similar problems.
Hope this helps some and good luck!
I have a 2007 dodge 3500 4x4, 4 door with my first and I think my last automatic Trans. I have 24000 mile I have had it in the shop in AZ at 13858 replace modules and solenoid pressure sensor etc ,then in Michigan 17681 this time full rebuilt now at 24000 miles I’m back in Az and heading back to Dodge . This time I ask for a new tranny or maybe I should get the 08 with the 6 spd auto I hear that truck and tranny are the best. Any body had problem with their tranny? Any suggestions? I drove my 72 ¾ ton 4x4 , 20 years I paid $4089.00 for the truck :lemon:
I would appreciate your help with #290. You are the 'main man' on these transmission issues. '
Thanks in advance for your help.
Called dealer and was told its a 46RH trans. It is a four speed but when I drive it it does not sound like it upshifts three times.
Thanks for the responses and please continue with them as I have not heard one that sounds definitive yet.
