That's kinda strange...... wonder if the park/neutral switch is having issues.

Can you Imagine how I feel! And will that cause it not to down shift in drive? Im not a fan of transmissions.

Not sure.... but, if the PCM thinks the trans is in neutral, no tellin' what it will do.

Is it possible for the PCM to act up and cause this problem, or these problems? Say all of my sensors solenoids are good but the PCM is saying otherwise?

Or even the transmission module connection being corroded or bad, just brainstorming on what could cause these problems

PCM just gets a voltage from the sensor, that suggests what the temp is. I am not sure if the voltage goes up, or down, as temp rises...... if it goes down, then, a dirty connector, bad wire, could most certainly cause the problem. Sure wouldn't hurt to check all the external connections, make sure they are clean, and tight. Could be a bad PCM as well. Some internal vault giving it false readings.

If I remove the connector for those solenoids from the PCM and use connect cleaner will it hurt PCM or will it cause a problem even disconnecting it from PCM?

Just don't do it with the ignition on. Should be fine. If you are really nervous about it, disconnect the battery first.

Well I found a fix for my problem and that was getting a new trans I went on and on trying to figure it out finally the trans started acting up bad hearing weird noises just not the same power I used to have dropped the pan and it looked like world war 3 in the pan, so called up my local dodge dealer they got me a new trans and I did no work dropped my truck off and picked it up it's running great I've put well over 15k miles on it since new trans and it's like brand new.
