My transmission has been acting up and from the searchs I have done it could be the temp sensor or the OD solenoid. I already installed a POT kit for the TPS but still having issues.

My Questions:

Trans temp sensor:

I have read that some have used a resistor. Is this in place of the sensor or to by pass the sensor?

OD Solenoid:

I'm still not sure were it is located, I was told it is on the side of the valve body. I read a Chrysler bullitn that said it was on the lower valve body?

When I pulled the pan and changed the filter there is two I think black boxes underneath the filter. Is this the OD solenoid pac or something else?

I'm going to work on the tranny this weekend starting with the simple things, checking wiring harness conection and testing the temp sensor. So if I find that the temp sensor is bad I wanted to know what my options were if I needed to replace it or?

Thanks for your help

 

Yes the duel solenoids you are looking at is the the OD/TCC solenoids.


Would also look into replacing the gov pressure solenoid


And transducer

 

You use a 1000 ohm resistor in place of the sensor. Sensor is no longer hooked up.
On a RH the sensor is about a foot ahead of the tranny, driver's side on the metal output tube to the cooler. Only thing in that area with wires going to it.

 

Thanks for the info helps a bunch.

If I use a resistor in plave of the sensor do I hook up the wires from the sensor to the resistor?

 

Yes in place of the sensor . In other words the sensor is taken out of or eliminated from this circuit.

 

Pretend the sender no longer exists.
The male connector prongs on the sender wire to the computer have a split in them that you can open up with a knife, insert the resistor leads then squeeze tight with pliers.
Tape the whole thing up then cable tie the extra wire up on top of the tranny or bell housing.
Beware, you can overheat the tranny with no warning with no sensor. Best to install an aftermarket temp gauge if you're going to leave it disconnected.

 

Troutstrannysvc im pretty sure you have put up pics of 47RE parts. the 47Rh has a Solenoid pack that is very similair but only a 3 wire plug and it doesnt have the rest of the sensors

 

Yes you are correct, thanks for clearing that up for the OP. Was a little late!

On a side note; Run into a lot of chrysler transmissions needing those, from our 47s to the jeeps. Also replace manual valve.

Thanks

 

not a prob sry bout bein late havent been online for a day or two. and there are alot of trannys out there were all allowed mistakes

 

Thanks again

The resitor install makes sense. I do have a tranny temp gauge. I will get to work tomorrow morning.
