So I’m going to re build my valve body on my 1997 5.9 dodger ram 1500 46r trans.

i was going to buy the son ax sup kit.
is there anything else or a list what else I can do while I’m in there.

for instance from servo.
can I do front band without dripping trans and so on.

Reason for trying this is the only gear I’m having problems with is a high rpm shift at partial a light throttle 2-3

evey other gear works great and really light and heavy it also shifts fine 2-3.
yes new filter and fluid a couple times.
governor selenoid and sensor.
outout speed sensor.
IAC
TPS
PLENUM GASKET
O2 sensora
new Cat
TV CABLE
Band adjustment
and even new return spring

I would throw a whole new trans in but a little out of my league and don’t have another vehicle to drive when shop does it

 

Some folks make 'slip-in' bands, that you can replace with the trans still in the truck... not sure if they are any better/worse than a new band, that you change during the course of a rebuild..... Never tried 'em myself.

 

Thanks.
Anyone one in Michigan and want to give a helping hand. Be more then willing to pay.

 

Where at in Michigan?

 

Leonard mi, biggest city most people know would be close to Romeo mi

 

I have friends that live up there, but, have never been. About 100 miles or so from me. (Clayton MI.)

 

Yeah, I have done alot but a little worried about re building this valve body!

another project where you dig in and learn as you go lol

 

You know anything about these 46re transmissions. This thing has been killing me

 

Everything I know about automatics is written on the inside of my left eyelid. I can do basic troubleshooting/diagnosis, but, have never rebuilt one. Several folks here on the boards have though, and they had zero experience when they started. There are a LOT of good resources on youtube. Couple companies have whole series on rebuilding the 46RE. Find one that deals specifically with the valve body, watch it a couple times, see what ya think.

 

Cool thanks!! Lol
Yeah I will tackle it. I do more pre planning then actual work lol.

i watched a bunch. Some things tho that are so easy they miss telling!

hey I appreciate the input tho.
I love there forums tho, a ton of help.

i built my first vw sand tail with forum help.
so much knowledge out in there !!
