Transmission swap

Transmission swap
99 Dodge Ram 1500. Bought the truck with a bad transmission. No reverse or 3rd gear. Has the 46re auto. I took a good transmission out of my other 2000 Dodge Ram 1500. Same everything. Well the od off and trans temp lights are staying on. I have a trans temp showing it’s not getting hot. Any suggestions?

Change the electronics in the trans. Sensor return values changed in 00. Having sensor/model year mismatch gives you exactly the symptoms you describe. So, buy the sensors/solenoids for a 99, grab the retainer you will need out of the old transmission, (governor pressure sensor retainer I believe) and swap 'em out. You can get complete sets of them off ebay for around 200 bucks. (governor pressure sensor/solenoid, o/d and tcc solenoids, even an output speed sensor. most come with filter and gasket as well.) Make sure it comes with the borg-warner heavy duty governor solenoid. Adjust the bands while you are in there.
