2nd gen ram 1500 help
My 97 Dodge Ram 1500 with the 46re transmission is acting up. It shifts into second just fine but is having problems shifting into 3rd and OD I have to left off the gas a little for it to shift but once its in gear it runs just fine and the RPMs aren't running high or anything not even weird sounds. A check engine light came on and the Code was P0783 which said it indicates a fault in the 3-4 shift solenoid. I have checked my fluid and it doesn't look burnt or anything. My problem is when I look up 3-4 shift solenoid nothing comes up and I've talked to a few different shops and they have each said I needed a different part so I don't know what part I need to fix the problem or if it can even be fixed without a rebuild.

Yes I definitely will adjust the bands as well. Anyways I was on a Facebook group and some guy was having the same problems as me so I told him what mine was doing and he should try doing what we have talked about but some guy said since I have to let off the gas for it to shift into 3rd and OD that its the clutch seal I have to fix. Im obviously no mechanic but since that P0783 code came up that indicates a flat in the 3-4 shift solenoid I'm sure its an electrical issue so I'm still gonna go ahead and get a solenoid service kit. Heres a pic of what I'm working with though I'm only 25 and have had her since high school with no plans to sell it!
