Allright I got the tranny and motor in. Truck RAN..... then when i shut it off it doesnt fire up no more. No more spark... But thats another problem. What I need to know is how do i set up the shift linkage. My v6 ones dont work and I dont have anything from the 46re... i threw them out before i could think about it. So my question is what do i need to get so i can get this beast to shift.
Thanks

 

the throttle cable? needs a new one.

 

huh? I got a throttle cable allready. I need to know what i need so i can get this thing to shift

 

Can someone please help me. If you have a r/t dakota can you tell me if linkage is only a cable or is there a mechanical part which bolts up to the steering column

 

there is a mechanical shifter link that you will need. my advice is to head to a junkyard and look for a 46re that has the linkage still intact. short of that, i would say head to your nearest tranny shop, and get them to find the part if you cant find it on your own.

 

would the linkage off of a ram work?

 

i would think not just because they are different sized trucks, but i could be wrong, if you have it, why not try to make it work

 

do you know if 5.2 and 5.9 dakotas share the same type of linkage

 

im pretty sure they do because the 5.2 and the 5.9 both have the 46re's as trannys
