i just put a resistor in the temp line and now it shifts into overdrive and i get converter lockup. ? is there any adverse affect by leaving it with out changing the sensor and add a temp gauge in pan.should i change it any way and why in your opinions. thank you

I would put a new temp sensor in the transmission and do it right the first time than band-aid the sensor with resistor.I really can't talk being I've created the high idle and MPG fooler based on resistors fooling the ECM. But the reason I suggest replacement is because not knowing thee proper value of the trans temp and what its reporting to the PCM is not good without some research on what might happen at what values.

i am going to order the bosch 2 piece kit and also install a temp gauge while pan is off . on a side note the resistor told me that the tenp sender was bad and it only cost .99 and took about 5 min total cheapest trouble shoot ever

Can you elaborate on the resitor size, as well as placement, for this 'temporary fix', as well as the symptoms you were experiencing? I'm curious and looking for any/all various info regarding the 47RE, since I'm having a bunch of different issues with mine..

i put resistor @ pin #1 on the center plug on pcm cut wire about 2" from connector and soldered a 1k ohm resistor in .the problems i had were no lockup ond no overdrive the overdrive switch turned on and off but nothing would happen. the resistor fixed all of that so now i can put in a net temp sender and remove the resistor.what problems are you having

Here's my 6 page thread of 'issues' with my 47RE lol

2000 24v Cummins no OD with new trans swap 

So I understand the resistor I am going to try it tomorrow but I just swapped from a 2000 transmission to a 98 47re and the transmission connector is different oval 4 prong on 98 straight 4 prong on 00 I scanned my truck with snap on scanner and transmission temp read 10*F I live in Florida
