No 3-2 downshift on 46re 2000 ram
All the snickering, blinking green and blue smiley fellows have me concerned. They should be banned unless they get used between adults who have a long history of working together. I know most wont agree but to me they are evil little characters. lol
Would that part be the governer sensor and mounting block?

Couple of sellers on ebay have them. A reputable seller (that knows what he has) is Electical Advantage. I don't have any experience on others there. One of these days I may get one just to swap in to test its performance and operation vs. the BW soleoid....whenever the legislature is out of session and I can get back to projects!

GM conversions run around 200 bucks or so. That was the primary 'fix' for the problematic dodge system before the BW governor solenoids came along. I am not aware of a direct fit pressure sensor though, that fixes the dodge issue..... a new one 'might' fix it, but, I won't hold my breath on that. The GM conversion WILL address it though.

I work for sound public policy, for a statewide sexual assault coalition. This inlcudes drafting, testifying, and advocating for good policy, and against bad policy.....and debunking "legitimate rape" BS that may make the news. Also do some writing.

Had a chance to pull the pan this evening and found two problems. The first is the front band is very loose. It can be lifted off it's piston about 1-1.5 inches. That seems excessive so I hope it can be adjusted out with a simple band adjustment. The rear band wasnt loose. The second is the amount of slivers found on the magnet. Here is a picture of that. Tommorow I'll pull the valve body and look for more issues. The good news is that I found nothing larger than the slivers in the picture.

Seen more, seen less. Can you post pic of how loose the band is? By piston I assume you mean servo. If so, it should not have that much gap. That inidcates that at full stroke on servo, it is not fully engaging the band on the drum to hold it tight. See if you can see scoring on drum under band.
