Firm shift 3rd to 4th after service
Howdy all, my first post, proud new owner of a 2004.5 2500 150K 2-owner 5.9. Thanks to all who participate on this forum, I've gotten a lot out of it.
I just did new-owner maintenance on the 48RE.
The 3rd-to-4th shift is a bit firm... not as in extreme, "oh crap, pull this thing over", but just pretty good kick & more than the other 2 shifts.
Anything to worry about?
Prior to the service shifting was pretty unnoticeable, which I understand to be not that great & signs of things loosenin' up/slipping.

- Replaced the Neutral Safety Switch.
- 2000-2007 Ram 5.9L Diesel BD Valve Body Electronics Upgrade Kit
- Poor man's flush
- Adjusted the front (2nd gear)/rear (low & reverse) bands.

Resolved... HUGE SHOUT OUT to CascadeTransParts for their Problems After Borg Warner Solenoid Installed - COMMON ISSUES & FIX 42RE / 44RE / 46RE / 47RE / 48RE posts. Yeah, I knew weeks prior that I need to make sure the solenoid was fully seated clicked when I put it in (at least I put it in the right slot on the bracket! [img alt="
"]data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7[/img]P ) . Well, I didn't recall that being the case after the repair/driving the truck, so yes, I dropped the pan & checked... sure enough, didn't even have to drop the solenoid block, just pushed it & it went "click".
Thank you, thank you, thank you Cascade Trans Parts! Drives like a Cadillac now.
