DOH! You sir, are correct. I seem to be directionally challenged.

You've corrected me a couple times when I've read something and thought backwards.

+1.

If the procedure is mucked up, you will possibly ruin the transmission and need a rebuild.

Yea what im going to do is bring it into a shop here called. Mr transmission they aparently check out the transmission for free, such as driving, and hook up the computer to it to read the pressure's and they check inside the pan i guess with a probe ? I dont need them to check in the pan tho because i just did a atf change 3 months ago.

Anyway im gonna have em check it out and see what they think, and I'll probably get them to do the band adjustment. I talked to the guy on the phone and gave hima description and he said from what i told him the transmission doesnt sound like its bad, but it sounds like the solenoid or bands need adjusted like some people have been telling me.

If adjusting the outside band doesnt work, I'll save up some money and get the sensor's and solenoids inside the pan from Mopar and bring it back and have them replace those. Or I'll do it myself. What are all the sensors inside the transmission pan so i know what i need to get ?

Pressure sensor and solenoid, and the 4th gear and TCC solenoid. So far as I know, that's it for electronic controls in there.

When you did the ATF change 3 months ago, you used ATF+4, right?

Hey while people are talking adjusting bands and such....\
does anyone have an extra rear band adjustment screw sitting around??

For some reason, on a rebuild this part went awol...
I'm not sure how, I had every component in zip-lock bags, labeled. But this thing here just disappeared.

i believe as long as the thread pitch and length are the same it does not matter about the head. i dont know what grade bolt that is.

Yea i did, took about 6-7 quarts. I used Castrol ATF+4

I used this filter since it looked like the one that was in there, and it says it fits the 46re
