I recently put a used transmission in my truck. It came out of a truck just like mine, same year, engine, 4x4 and even the same color.
I've had several problems getting it to work right. Now it won't go into 4th gear! It hasn't since I put it in. Can you tell me why it won't?
Also I'm getting a tranny is hot light. I can't see any kinked lines, so any ideas why? Can it be because it won't go into going down the highway?
Please help I'm stuck and frustrated because of all the problems I'm having with this tranny! I can't afford to buy a new one.
Any ideas about the cost of rebuilding one and how hard is it?

so im assuming since your having trouble getting it in 4th only that the other 3 are shifting fine. ARE you sure its not starting in 2nd. Do you have any codes. If your truck isnt engaging overdrive, you might need a new overdrive solenoid, its on the outside of the valve body under the pan.

There are two different circuits in the trans, governor sensor/solenoid are on one, (and I do believe both are five volts) then there are the TCC, and O/D solenoids, which are 12 volts. If you are getting a code for governor solenoid, I would check connections at both the PCM, and the trans first, and if those look good, replace the sensor/solenoid set. (governor)
