- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 5 ก.ย. 2024
- In this video I will be working on a Dodge Ram 1500 that has an Automatic transmission that won't shift past 1st gear, it has a check engine light and the code is P1756 (Governor Pressure Not Equal to Target at 15-20 PSI). I will show you how you can replace this solenoid and also how you can service your automatic transmission as well.

Just want to say Thank You. Your video saved us $10,000 that is what the Dealer wanted to replace the transmission in our 2004 2500 Dodge truck. My husband and I are both 73 years old we were able to follow your video step by step and now the transmission is working again. Thank you kathy
Dude, thank you. this totally fixed an issue I've had for 4 years. all the mechanics I've gone to said it was the head. I said no way. You're wonderful. did the same on 2 other vehicles and pretty much the same issues. it fixed them. Single mom of 6 with 3 teen drivers. please keep doing your videos. you're very good at doing it. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!!!!
FELICIA Nunur God bless you Felicia! You are a strong and smart.
ThePariss333 Single mom/dad apparently with those mechanic skills.
I'm proud of you Felicia !!
@ThePariss333 Ass hat
Always check your codes before taking your vehicle to a mechanic....or even to fix it yourself.
Seriously, I've learned so much from this channel. Never would have I ever thought that I could diagnose and fix my own transmission problems but this week I did just that. Thanks my dude!
How can so many people dislike this video? It's an informational video about a specific vehicle. It's to expand your knowledge. If it doesn't pertain to you, why watch it at all? I don't even own a dodge. I'm here to learn and expand my knowledge about the general mechanics of an automatic transmission. Don't dislike a video like this. It makes no sense
Pl explains Porsche Cayenne
i just finished doing this procedure on my dodge durango. i was hesitant to do it because my my scanner didn't give me any codes telling me anything was wrong, but all the symptoms you described were there, thank you for you detailed video. I'm happy that I did the job myself because had a mechanic quote me a price for $500 parts and labor. and so far I'm $104 in parts. I say so far because i broke one of the bolts, but that least of my worries now that I know that my trans is going to be okay.
A neat trick I recently learned from another channel is to use a few cable ties through some of the bolt holes to hold the gasket in place on the pan. Once you have all the other bolts in place cut the cable ties pull them out and put in the final bolts. I guess RTV holds it in place too but it's not always necessary to use RTV.
This is how a video should be made, straight forward showed you every step easily. Great job!! Having the same issue so im going to what I learned from your video thankyou!!
your channel has educated me greatly, I’m able to communicate w/my mechanic specifically to the serviced needed on my MKIV Supra. Because of you I change the oil, transmission fluid & done other repairs myself. When in doubt or want to learn on a specific topic I always refer to your channel.
That accent and that hair... I trust this man
What does that have to do with anything??
Everything
@@perfectchowder BS!! tHE MECHANIC i USED COULDNT FIGURE OUT HOW TO FIX my transmission and he talks just like him!!!
Lara Greene but did he have the hair
I was going to say the exact opposite 😂
Thanks for this video. I bought a '97 Dodge Ram 1500 8 cylinder three years ago. (love it, a real workhorse). Just recently, at 100,000 miles the transmission began to slip, but mostly won't go into overdrive. Sometimes it does - sometimes it doesn't. The gas mileage is still the same, though.
So, I'm going to get brave and replace the pressure solenoid myself. Listing the tools you used is a big help - I like tools.
Thanks again - great job on this video.
Dude, you were born to teach. Awesome job explaining that so even dumb guys like me can understand.👍🏼
I like that you use humor for your work usually I end up getting super mad and use choice words to express lol
Dude you are a hero. My 1999 Dodge Ram 5.9l would not shift it was showing the exact symptoms as this truck. I bought the solenoid because it was inexpensive and was full of doubt but when I got it in it actually worked it shifts finally props to you man
Did you have a check engine light or error code?
Thank you, I was about to sell my Jeep Grand Cherokee for parts as I had this problem. I changed out the components as described in this video and it shifts better than before!
I look up videos to repair my truck and bike all the time. You sir, have done the best job I have ever seen! Great video, great explanations, great exactness, and you kept it simple for us garage mechanics. Thank you!

GREAT DETAILED VID!!! I have a 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4.0 with 42RE trans that is failing to shift(or slowly shifts) from 1st after coming to a stop.When trans is cold it shifts normally, but when warmed up it has the shift problem. I have heard from others these two parts(solenoid AND pressure sensor) are the first you should replace and also the trans speed sensor('99 uses only one). Thanks! Mike in LA, Calif, USA
Did you ever fix your Jeep my truck does the same thing? Any help would be greatly appreciated
Great job on this video. Excellent pin point instructions. Everyone posting repair videos should watch this and learn how a properly done diy repair video should be done. Great job👍👍
I've resolved my problem this way before... your vedio is very clear and understandable.. great job amigo.... cool editing
pretty straight forward.. we should 'clone the mechanic' he seems like an honest mechanic.
I love the amount of explanation you give...you make it easy to follow along! Thank you! Also is this the same thing for p0700?
That code just refers that you have a transmission problem, it doesn't specify what it is. Look at the description for that code in the scanner, if it doesn't tell you a specific problem like "pressure too low" or something like that, take it to an auto parts place and have the check engine light checked, they'll give you a full diagnose of the problems
Easy to watch and easy to understand. Thanks for making this video!
Thank you for the information. My car had the same issue of not shifting out of 1st gear. This was years back, and I took it to a professional to be fixed, but thanks for diagnosing one of the potential culprits, which could save others hundreds of dollars. Your videos are getting better and better. Please keep them coming.
First video I’ve ever seen with a road test after replacing a part thank you for that
Lol "Do as I say, Not as I do!" Classic! Nice video!
This is absolutely best video on this subject. I've been searching for about an hour and nothing was relevant or explained well at all. Thank you great job
Great detail, thanks for the info. At some point most second gen owners will run into this. My 2001 sport only has 76,000 miles and had to do this.
What were your symptoms? Unable to shift out of first gear? Did this fix your problem?
just by watching this video one time i can now call myself a transmission tech.
thank you.
man, you sure know your transmissions! Thanks for a very detailed and funny video
...great instruction, i enjoyed it. Only comment: when you were showing the console after plugging in the monitor, i didn't know what you wanted me to see...a pointer of some kind would help as you explain what to observe. Thank you, good job...and your voice was very clear to understand.
Cool Video. I have the 1998 Dodge Ram 1500 4x4 with 5.9 Eng and Eng light came on after jumping over a few road bumps, as a result, I got Eng light with 2 code P 1756 and P 0740. So, In search, i saw your video and from start follow what you recommend....... Start the truck with Eng light still on, checked the trans Oil 3 times, it was at the level where it should be, Than i went and shift the gear from P to N then to D after 5 seconds to 1 after 5 seconds to 2,...move the truck little bit each time on that gear and guess what?
My Eng light went away!
So, Happy.
From now on i would go slow on the road bumps.
This true, I am not kidding. Eng light went away.
Even if in the future i have to go and change it, I would owe it to you for your great Video.
Great video - Clear instructions and all the information you need to get the job done properly - thanks
thanks man, Mechanic were charging so much for that
Thanks for this good, informative video. And for the bit of Opera you included with it!
excellent. this guy knows his stuff. no need to watch anyone else. i dont.
Not very good with cars but your vids help me out a lot homie.
Soul-enoid is exactly what it is if that's what you want it to be called buddy I'm a mechanic myself and you I know actually do a well job and understand the engineering and technicalities of an engine or basic vehicle knowkedge you got a descent soul inside so keep up the good work over there
Great video! my Taurus is in desperate need of this procedure
Awesome video! The details and info - Really enjoyed the viewing the taste test and gasket goo!!
Great job very well done I have a 97 dodge ram 1500 4x4 I need to change the tcc solenoid truck will not stay in high gear any information on video you have on it would be greatly appreciated thank you keep up the good work thanks for sharing
I'm so old school! I still can't get used to electrical parts being submersed in transmission fluid! I worked with electrical parts most of my life and that just goes against all common sense! What were the designers thinking! Btw...thanks for the video...may be helpful in the future. I have a 2002 Dodge truck. Not sure if it's the same, but I now know transmission repair may be a lot cheaper than previously thought!
This guy always has the best information... How come you did not adjust the bands while you had it apart?
Thanks for giving the torque specs. My almost worthless Chilton's manual neglects pretty much the entire transmission as if it's just extra unneeded metal on a car or truck.
I do want to put out there that the RE trans in that truck has to be in neutral when checking fluid level. Other than that awesome job.
How many mechanics would tell you that you need a rebuild
No specialist would. Definitely not where I work.
All of'em but of course there will be some honest ones that'll tell you for an easy fix (if there's an easy fix) "we charge for what we know not for what we do" some mechanics say.
Guy tried to tell me id rsther get a rebuild before dropping pan
I called a shop and they told me “u need a rebuild” like damn I can’t get it looked at first
95 % of shops have warranties for there work and also won't open a trans that has 150k never serviced and its a Chrysler transmission the worst trans made it will be back over and over again and everytime the shops making 2 hrs rate of work.. someone like me would be upfront and say we change silinoid and filter and fluid no guarantees of how long you'll keep going because its a high mile trans
Thanks a lot bro for taking out your time great video awesome detailed information really appreciate it help save me money. And put more food on the table for my family and help others in need God bless.
u r awesome man...bro....very helpful to all technician..
Hi brother
Please makr a video about the stucking 3rd gare.
I wanna learn it
seriously good tip with that epoxy spray idea. why leave a 0.5mm scratch there which could create an annoying leak when you can just spray $0.20 worth of epoxy on there and wait 30 minutes? great tip. never seen it before.
Thank you for this video I’m having this exact problem with my car first I thought it was engine problem I have changed almost everything related to ignition still slow so now I know it’s the transmission.
1:37 I almost died 😂😂😂
lol yeah dont do that no more
eldom72 😂😂😂😂😂
I had a friend suggest this as a good test for oil..... he wasn't that bright.
eldom72. Me too... ha ha ha ha... so funny, good thing he didn't edit it out.
It goes to show he is just human... forgetting the difference between smell and taste. lol
Wrong job for taste test huh
Good teacher- u maded it easy to follow -Thank you
You are the best yet! Although I do not have the 'hand skills' to work on my own 95 Auto. Pontiac Firebird..I keep finding I need to watch to give ideas to these mechsnics...or they do not solve my issues? Where are u located?
Took this man 15 minutes to do this job and explain every MOVE! Meanwhile the shop will charge you for 4hrs of labor😩😂
Editing
@laneesha Well you're paying for the mechanic, you're paying the shop, you're paying the bosses. you're paying for a guarantee. You do that yourself, you'll screw it up and pay for even triple that amount. Or You can get a backyard mechanic, if you're unlucky, he'll screw it up even more.
Called movie magic. Didn't take 15min but completely understand what u mean lol
@@pixiestone4889 Good girl ! Here's a doggie bone.
Gota pay bills bro.
You don't always need to replace solenoids.
Juste replace the defective resistors on the the solenoids or resolder cold solder joints on the flex cable and that's it.
Awesome job, detailed with complete explanation on project.
Thanks lot it worked on my 97 ram 1500 back in business
Tim Gomez I have a 97 ram 2500 and am wondering if it’s the same issue.
Simple to the point video! Well put with easy visual and verbal instructions. Felt like a student in mechanic 101 for transmission class. Congrats and have a good one!

That is exactly what mine is not doing, shifting. Thank you soooo much. It looks a bit scary but I think it's doable.
Our 2008 Aura does this sometimes if the car is driven hard. I suspect the same issue as fluid is only 6 months old and perfect level.
WOW excellent this is what I’m looking for to do in dodge, thanks so much your videos are great
Awesome video.... Great info, saved me a WHOLE LOT OF MONEY.
You are awesome and now I know how to do what I have to do on my Ram diesel again thank you
Looked at a lot of videos on this - yours is one of the best. Thanks!
Love your videos, very informative. Keep up the good work!
I guess the solenoid failed caused it was clogged? Great vid
Excellent video. Just changed my filter and fluid in my my 97 ram yesterday prior to seeing this. Good to know about the solenoid if that shifting problem arises. Please keep the videos coming. What state are you coming from?
Thanks for explaining and showing how to do this! I'm gonna do this on my 2008 grand caravan.
Really good description I thought and glad to hear I don't have to do the taste test
I need to find out all signs of a bad pressure solenoid! I'm having different problems but my code says this is the cause of problem! Great video though!!
aHHHH i FOUND IT!! 😁👍
Hey hope your great ! I have a 1998 sentra, I shift into reverse it works perfectly, but when I shift into any of the drives it won't go, but at times it does catches drive, and then it's perfect till I turn the car off. When I turn it back on it does the same again some time I just put it into drive and accelerate really soft and it catches drive and then it runs perfect again, thanks for your help!
These only have a pcm not a trans module. Dont be a parts changer. Do these all the time. Continuity check works the best on the solenoid. Make sure you have the 5v goin to computer and make sure the computer is sending ground to the assembly. If that check is ok pop open the pan.. Disconnect the pressure solenoid then do a resistance check if there is resistance then replace the solenoid. If no resistance and you have continuity then replace filter and clean the screen. Also if your wiring and electrical side is good then a flush would be best before replacing filter and cleaning the solenoid screen. Also check for closed looped system when checking fluid lvl
2003 automatic 5.7 ram. It drives fine when in Drive, but won't move when put in 1st or 2nd gear. Can that solenoid cause this problem as well?
Great video . Helped me tons. BTW the torx is 25 not the 20. Cheers.
I really enjoy your videos, granted i dont have a Dodge but the principles are similar. Thanks
I really hope this fixes my problem. Exact same issues with my 1500.
Really good video, answered many questions I had about changing the oil.
You forgot to mention about the magnet inside of the oil pan you can clearly see it at the minute 4:25 that is very important matter fact you forgot to put it back-other than that is a good video
good catch
My IQ is 139, i'm sure yours is much higher, thanks for the excellent narrative! You are the best presenter of this kind of thing so far, I hope you will notice my noticing, for you are the god of transmission wellness.
Intolerant American lol
gymover you forgot the decimal in your IQ. Should read 13.9

I have an 2010 ford focus 2.0 . It shifts 1st- 2nd- and 3rd good but 4th gear does not kick in..i already had it scan and had to replace solenoid c, but it still won't shift to 4th gear. Can u help me figure out this prob?
Hello! Super video! I’m watching this because I just replaced my water pump in my 2002 dodge ram van 3500. It went smoothly and the van started and ran smoother than it ever has. However my transmission is not shifting into 3rd or 4th. Could I have knocked something loose taking the fan or belt off? Any help would be appreciated.
OUTSTANDING job making this video - you are to be congratulated!
I’m stunned by the amount of access.....I’ve a 92 Dakota 5.2/auto and it’s either a fight, tiny hands needed or drop the exhaust...and not a bunch of access to that
I did this to my 97 dodge ram yesterday and now I got first and second gears issues I'm not sure if my transmission is done or I can do something else but not rebuilt the transmission
Try grounding your firewall to the negative of your battery. Your problem may be electrical as in your transmission isnt receiving the signal to shift correctly because may be distorted by something.
Best tutorial I've seen so far thank you
When you are checking fluid for a dodge you HAVE to have it in neutral so the fluid is flowing or else it will appear it is over full. Ik this because I work at a transmission shop
Great tip!!! I have always used this technique when checking trani fluid in any vehicle I own. I have a question for you, Gauge Horton, Since you work in a transmission shop. I have a 98 Dodge Ram 1500, 5.2 litre V-8 motor, with 4WD. Yesterday morning, while driving to work, I was approaching a left turn. Coming off a 13 mile stretch at 55-60 mph, obviously, I had to slow down to turn. As soon as I put my foot back on the gas pedal, it was as if my truck shifted itself into neutral!!!. I had to coast to the side of the road, put it in park, wait a few seconds, then put it back in drive. It didn't shift immediately like normal, took about 3-4 seconds, and only stayed in gear about 10 seconds. I lost trani function 4 times like this in a half-mile stretch. I immediately checked fluid level, color, smell. All were spot on. My boss and I attempted to "walk" it through the tree, 1 gear at a time, SLOWLY, to no avail. All I can find for info, help, and troubleshooting is to replace Governor Pressure Solenoid and Sensor Switch, or the whole dang transmission. If you or anyone can help me, I will be eternally grateful. I work in an Auto Parts store so you'd think I could figure this out. I'd rather rebuild carbeurators all day than deal with a transmission issue. Thanks in advance for any words of wisdom.
gauge horton any tips for an 08 mountaineer (ford based) locks us from shifting past reverse unless the engine, oil etc is plenty warm then even if we reverse onto an uneven patch of groud the problems even worse. every fluid's been replaced so far if that helps at all
gauge horton : Same on KIAS & HUYANDIs ,gotta be in Neutral.
Unless of course you have a dodge transmission like one on this video like one I have, that when the transmission messes up that neutral becomes 1st gear but not drive, because it won't go into second until you put it in drive. But what really throws me off is it doesn't have reverse anymore, but it also won't go forward while in reverse. Also it jumped forward in park right after you put it in park.
What year will this work on? Is it just the 2001 or
Thank you sir for the video. How many quarts did you add into the transmission?
Thanks brother I cleaned my solenoid and it worked as well did a dam good job of it with the change in filter exc. It all worked out and I pray that it continues to work... and did it all under an hour... thanks for the intell...
Awesome video!!! Tip Top!! I have a 1997 Chevy Silverado and it’s driving me nuts! It will only shift out of first gear after it gets warmed up. It will not shift out of first gear until I drive it for about 20-30 mins then it shifts fine. Please help!
Awesome video!! You do a great job explaining every detail.
most trans dipsticks give instructions on checking the level right on the dipstick...pause the video@ 1:15 or so, you can read it says to check idling in neutral on this vehicle.
Great job! I have a 2000 Jeep Cherokee xj 4.0 litre with an automatic transmission. It down shifts poorly only in the 1-2 lowest gear selection. Is that normal? Thanks
I have a 1993Chevy van g20 5.7L
Just replaced the transmission
But now sometimes works perfectly
And some times won't do nothing. Like I can shift and won't catch a spedd from reverse to the Las speed.
Than I turn it off
Wait a few minutes
Turn it on again
And trainy is back in business again.
which kind of scanner do you recommend me to get a transmission code?
Great info man! I have an issue with my automatic trans having a high rpm on accelerating. It revs around 3k to 4k before shifting. I can also feel there a delayed engagement after pressing the pedal. Should I do the same thing what you did, or is there something else to do? I've never changed the trans fluid but on checking the dip stick, its fairly pink. (driven 140k miles)
I wish I lived near you for advice or work that I can't do myself. Local shops around here will rob you blind if you don't know someone personally. I enjoy working on my car, but doing it outside on the asphalt on hot, humid 95 degree Atlanta days with no shade is not fun.
To keep from striping the TORX TRY THE T25 , NOT THE T 20 OK , THANKS FOR LISSTIN 🏁🇺🇸
Followed all the steps and the vehicle shifted perfectly for about a month. O/D light came on and would not turn off, about 5 minutes later trans temp light came on. I parked the vehicle and have not driven it since.
Andre Taylor it's your radiator that is clogged,my Dakota do the same,after replacing the radiator,problem solved,hope this help you...
I had a 95 dodge with the Cummins and an autumatic. It would start doing crazy shifts and downshift on its on sometimes. There is a temp sensor in one of the metal fluid lines where it goes to the trans, can be changed with a 6"cresent wrench. Fixed it every time for about 6 to 12 months.
your awesome man, enjoy and learn from all your videos.
what is it to scan brand you recommend me please
You this is the best video you
Thanks your video help me a lot, i did the same you did and my problem solved.
