ok so for a while i have had issues relating to my transmission. befor i unplugged my tranny and used the shifter and it worked fine. but it also worked fine with it plugged in, off and on. well lately i have had to do some far driving due to getting maried saturday. and on my hauls i have noticed that when driving far distances after a while of stop and go my truck wont shift out of a higher gear and it just slips untill it engages. so i didnt unplug the tranny cord from the tranny but instead i have just been using the shifter when driving far distances and it has been doing great. i also adjusted my bands but they were right below a 1/2 inch so i put em at 3/8 right inbetween at the sweet spot. and its still doing the same thing.
now heres the question.
does that mean that my shift sylenoid is bad?
cuz i dont want to go buy it istall it and have the same issues.
thank you for your time.

 

PM Master Tech he's the tranny expert around here!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Don't need to send me a pm. Is the check engine light on? If it is, what are the codes. Are you getting a P1756 or P1757 codes?

 

yea my check engine light is on. not sure what codes are coming up. the key trick with the dash doesnt work on my d, to early of a model. but havent had em read yet. i figured my o2 sensors were still bad, i havent gotten around to getting em check out since i replaced my exhaust. i had a swiss chese exhaust. lol but i will get the codes read tomorrow afternoon and ill let ya know then.

 

also are codes p1756 and p1757 are they codes for the shift sylenoid? just so i know so when i go to get em read if thats one of the codes that comes up i can get it.

 

you can find all codes here
https://dodgeforum.com/forum/1st-gen...ine-light.html
P1719 Skip Shift Solenoid Circ
P1740 TCC or O/D Solenoid Perf
P1756 Gov Press Not Equal to Target @ not15-20 PSI
P1757 Gov Press above 3 PSI in gear with 0 MPH
P1762 Gov Press Sens Offset Volts Too Low or Hi
P1763 Governor Press Sens Volts Too Hi
P1764 Governor Press Sens Volts Too Low
P1765 Trans 12 Volt Supply Relay CTRL Circ

 

got my codes read and i had 2 codes pop up. p1757 and p0420. i talked to the guy there and he said the p0420 code could be bad o2 sensors or a bad catalitic conerter. and the p1757 could be either internal short on circuit or my hift sylenoid is bad. so i guess first things firts. take off my o2 sensors and clean em an get em tested and i have to take my truck to a tranny specialist and have them put there cpu on it and have them test that.
am i right?

 

Personally I'd just replace the O2 sensors, chances are they're just dead from being in there for 14 years in the heat. As for the solenoid, most likely its bad, unless you notice any damaged wiring, no clue whats involved in replacing it though.
