I put it through the test this weekend, actually trying to make it cycle, and I am happy to report that my truck is fixed. Transmission will not shift into overdrive ,can drive 15 miles on highway in 3rd gear. No check engine or abs lights. What a difference the fix has made. Install the new filler tube O-ring that came with the rebuild kit. Also the engine will rev as if it is trying to switch out of overdrive.
What is a transmission pressure control solenoid and how to replace one if it goes bad. A rectifier passes current in one direction but blocks the current in the other direction. The amount of noise from the alternator is probably causes the difference. Your transmission was only designed to handle the torque and horsepower the stock engine delivers, and in the case of some Dodge models, even the stock torque can present a challenge.

The bundle is wrapped with fiber type electrical tape inside of a plastic corrugated cover.
If you plan to replace the torque converter with a new or rebuilt converter, the old converter must be drained of the fluid in order to use it as a core when purchasing the new or rebuilt converter. Remove any of the top bell housing to engine bolts that are accessible - otherwise the bolts will be removed later from underneath. Turn the ignition key to on. If no leaks, it is time to test drive the vehicle. You can rotate the engine in one of two ways; Use a breaker bar and large socket to rotate the center harmonic balancer bolt on the front of the engine or by leveraging a small pry bar or large screwdriver between the teeth of the flywheel and the bell housing in such a way that allows you to turn the flywheel in either direction. Sincerely, Taryn Breen ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Kent, I have the same problem, and have been fighting it for over a year now. I am Amazed that moving a ground wire would have the effect that it did.
Leave the belt undisturbed as much as possible and lower the wrench back toward the fan where it will rest and remain connected. I have friends that work for a dealer and none of them made a suggestion like this to fix the problem. Lift and rotate the bracket to allow access to the wiring bundle. Still working under the hood, locate and disconnect any transmission electrical connectors you see. Any code within this range point to a transmission related fault.

Rob at Grapevine Automatic indicated that it was related to a noise problem, and not his rebuild, and was persistent to find the cause of the problem using different ideas to eliminate the noise that was causing the problem. It's best to get all the containers or baggies labeled before starting the job. The problem typically disappears at speed above 40 mph. Removing the transmission mount bolts or nuts allows the transmission to be separated from the cross member. A failure may not appear for several days.
However, it even started locking and unlocking even at 70 mph. If you facing a transmission replacement, you can reduce the cost considerably by removing and re-installing the transmission yourself. Again, complete removal of the starter is normally unnecessary. Any starter bolts that are not removed now will be removed later from underneath. Torque Converter Installation Note: You must be certain the torque converter is fully seated into the transmission before installation. Note: When removing brackets, mark their locations or make a simple drawing showing their locations.
We installed additional ground wires, rerouted wires, increased clutch pressure, etc. Beware of rebuilt alternators that could already have leaky rectifiers. I had the exact same problems that you described. The converter could also be damaged and it will surely create a huge mess. The problem will always appear to be fixed the first day. Note: Some people have skipped Step No.
I have the same problem of shifting into drive--and reverse the engagement points are no where they are shown to be on the shifter. This situation will create a real mess and can be potentially dangerous. You should feel three distinctive clicks each time the converter drops into place. The problem typically disappears at speed above 50 mph. Fortunately they stuck with me, trying doing all the suggested fixes recommended by Dodge, including a reflash. Check the belt location on all pulleys before removing the wrench. Rpms revved high or low before vehicle had a delayed response by lurching forward in whatever gear it was in.
