For my truck in the signature. No codes. Batteries clean. 13.8 to 13.9 volts. Tranny flush 20k ago. Fluid is red and no burnt smell to it. We used the truck to flatbed my sons' 06 Dodge home the other day. The trans temp light came on as he was coming up our hill. Now for the symptom: in 3rd gear it sometimes will not kick into 3rd gear. It will shift from 1st to 2nd. Tranny works in R, 1, and 2 positions. Any suggestions?

Right now I am planning on tearing the trans apart next weekend. I've never had one of these apart before so it will be a learning experience for all. Going to get as many pics as possible. I'm not sure if any special tools are required but I'm sure if so I don't have them, lol. So if I run into that I guess I'll have a second thread to start on how to make the tools, lol.

That would be excellent. I know just enough to get into trouble. I don't, but do you have a schematic on the trans? Making tools, that's so cool! Thanks, Dave:doh:

I'm not sure what kind of schematic you're referring to. I have a manual printed off the internet if needed but I am planning on going at it without using the manual if possible. I will be sure to note if I use the manual or not. The teardown is planned for sunday and depending on what I run into while it is apart it will probably be the next weekend before I put it back together. We'll see what happens I guess. Maybe help someone from :spend::spend: and be able to do these transmissions at home.

Didn't know what else to call the exploded view. I hear you on the money Bro! Good luck!Dave

Sorry guys, the transmission tear down had to be postponed again. Going to try for next sunday, had a pretty big paying job come up and with working double shifts i'm low on time. Thanks for being patient and not trying to hunt me down.

I did get the write up done for the OD section of the transmission. Have the pictures of the front section and once I get a few bugs worked out I will get the write up started for the front half of the transmission. Here is a link to the OD section article. http://articles.mopar1973man.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=65:47re-teardown-od-section&catid=39&Itemid=115

Excellent!:hyper:Since everyone seems to have spare trannys laying around here. I need the inspection cover & bolts that hold it in place.Anyone have one for sale?Thanks,Dave
