sorry to hear about the 1996 Ram auto trans problem

in addition to the good advice given above
consider:

there have been past posts that the 1994 to 1996 46RH/46RE
had defective D-ring seals on some of the internal pistons
that give excessive leakage as they get old
and this shows up as some limited shifting when 'dead cold'
that get worse and worse as the ATF warms up

there are other 46RH/46RE
inherent problems listed at this helpful website:

as cheap 'band aids'
you might try
a new filter,
8 quarts fresh ATF+3,
and a bottle of Lubegard Red Bottle from a NAPA store
{about a $100 bet on 'good luck' for your part}
but the odds are
your auto trans needs a rebuild

hope you have good luck rather than bad

 

ok i wil try that and see what happens the magnet had black liquid metal shavings but not a whole lot and thanks hankl i hope i have good luck too

 

going up

 

replace both of your pressure transducer soleniods and your 2-3 shift spring while in there www.performancetransmissions&parts.com and put atf+4 back in

 

ok well i changed the filter and fluid and got it working pretty good it pulls good now even when its warm and it shifts good the problem is now u have to put it in 1st then shift it manualy then when u stop u have to put it in nuetral then back in 1st if u just put it in drive it feels like its taking off in second gear does anyone know why its doing this? it will not downshift and when u stop and put it in 1st it still like taking off in second gear u have to put it in nuetral then back into 1st plz let me know thanks

 

Adjust your cable and then try replacing the governor presser sensor and solenoid.

 

Ok, this is the second time ive seen you bring this up. Do you know what part you are talking about? If you are talking about the part i think you are talking about then calling it a 2-3 shift spring is wrong, and you are misleading people. If you really are talking about the 2-3 shift spring then you are crazy, they dont break.

Please clarify what you are talking about.

 

ok where is the govener presser sensor located?

 

On the valvebody.

 

ok i need help one more time does anyone know where the sensor is located on the tranny that runs the speedometer
