Welcome to the site. I will move this thread to the second generation Ram section,
FF

 

just an fyi....our rams have weak trannys....150K is around the time they need a rebuild if you're lucky

 

Rear of the tranny...drivers side...just changed mine...about $8 from autozone

threw a code, but didnt notice anything abnormal. Changed it out and all was good.

 

Output sensor is only for overdrive, and TCC. All other shifts are hydraulically controlled. Check fluid level first, (must check in neutral) if that's ok, drop the pan, and see what neat things you find in there.

 

look into the "governor pressure sensor" and the "governor pressure solenoid"


i bet thats the problem
