Wait a sec.

Doesn't the R/T have the NON Electronic transmission? If so how would it have a code?


If it's a non electronic like the 46RE, etc, then not going into 1st at a STOP, etc it would either be the Govenor valve stuck or a stuck shuttle valve in the valve body.

If it's not going into 1st, say when you punch the throttle at 20~30 MPH, but starts in 1st from a dead stop then it is probably the TV cable is off, messed up, or something stuck in the valve body.

the 46RE is electronic.....mine was in a failsafe mode which was doing the same thing yours is doing. Mine turned out to be a A/T relay under the hood gone bad. The Engine Fan Relay is the A/T relay also. they didn't list it as that tho, but it shares. This was on a 1996 tho.

I had a similar problem with my 02 Quad Cab 4.7 SLT along with overdrive problem. At highway sppeds after extended periods (4-5 hours) the RPM's will rise as though trans has shifted out of OD and engine light comes on. If I slow to a stop trans seems as though it is stuck in 2nd gear. Takes high rpm to get moving and sounds like starting in 2nd gear with a manual trans.

If I shut engine off for a minute and restart the trans shifts into OD at speed but engine light stays on. After a few engine starts the light goes out.

I have changed trans fluid and both filters at 50,000 and currently at 77,000.

I have replaced both input and output trans speed sensors and the trans pump pressure sensor with new Mopar sensors.

Anybody else has similar problem and what was final fix? Trying to avoid the Dodge stealer (dealer) and don't want to change PCM unless sure it will fix problem. To much bucks!!!
