Thanks for the response. I did the adjustment myself and have a shinny new inch pound torque wrench from sears : ) I like to do all the work, I hate to send it off to the transmission shop and pay for a complete rebuild when only one thing could be bad. Are there any DIY links on rebuilding these transmissions anywhere? I have rebuilt a few motors and rebuilt a few CJ Jeeps in my day so mechanically not realy affraid to dig in. Also a place to get a good rebuild kit??
Thanks Again.
Thanks Again.
i believe that the trans on the 5.9 is not computer controlled (its hyraulically controlled i think) and even on the 4.7 which IS a computer controlled transmission it only has 1, and then another one that controls the engine,
on the 5.9 the pcm that controls the engine has sensors in the trans which let it know whats going on, and when it can let overdrive kick in(the only electronic part on the trans behind the 5.9)

Again I would like to thank all that tried to help. My problem has been solved.
I brought my truck to a highly recommended trans shop. I called and told them I had first gear sometimes and now it is gonne all the time, they were able to tell me exactly what the problem was over the phone. Stating this is a very common problem in the re46 trans.
Governor Pressure Sensor & Governor Solenoid
I had no codes come up at all ? And a couple hundred bucks later its fixed and shifting better than it has in a long long time.

Governor Pressure Sensor & Governor Solenoid is a very common failure in these transmission, probably all made in China.
