The Mopar part numbers are 4617210 governor solenoid, 5602819AD transducer sensor, 52118789 trans filter, and 4295875AC pan gasket. I would buy mopar parts, Because you don't know if you will get the right parts from the other stores. You do know the picture in your first post is a 46RE transmission?

Where do I buy Mopar parts? At the dealer only? Yea Master Tech I found th epic and just posted it as a reference. I was told by all these trans shops that the sensor and solenoid were a pain to get to and required hours of labor. After reading up and seeing that pic I was so pissed. I hate mechanics.........worse than lawyers

I'd probably refine that comment if you're looking for help. Lots of mechanics are on this site and at least 2 are trying to help you now.

You can get Mopar parts from your dealer or online. Google is your friend.

How's less than $100 for both and the numbers cross reference. There are lots of places to check. Here's one:

Solenoid:

Sensor:

Do get a filter from the dealer though. Aftermarket ones are crap.

ok so the governor pressure sensor and solenoid are changed. I went to the local junk yard and took them out of a 2000 ram V6 (yes same trans model number and same part numbers) I paid 10 dollars for the parts and not the 270.00 my local dodge dealer wanted for them. I then went and got a new trans filter and gasket and got to work. Very easy job. Took maybe 30-45min if you take out the draining time. It is shifting again but the service engine light has not gone out. When should a expect that to go out

the check engine light went out after driving around a bit. I called and asked the dodge dealer how much trans fluid i needed to put in and the guy said 4-5 qt if you didnt empty the crankcase and also told me to check the level in park......both are of coarse wrong. After checking the level in N as it states in the service manual I added about 9 and a half or so and i am right at the fill mark in N. And they wonder why we fix this stuff ourself. i feel safer doing it myself then having them do it. Anyway I will let you know how it goes. so far so good
