- čas přidán 19. 10. 2016
- 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
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!
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.
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!!
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.
I like that you use humor for your work usually I end up getting super mad and use choice words to express lol
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.
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
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.
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.
Easy to watch and easy to understand. Thanks for making this video!
Great video - Clear instructions and all the information you need to get the job done properly - thanks
Thanks for this good, informative video. And for the bit of Opera you included with it!
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 😂
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.
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!
Love your videos, very informative. Keep up the good work!
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

Looked at a lot of videos on this - yours is one of the best. Thanks!
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!

@@fieldsrt2ĵ
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
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👍👍
Really good video, answered many questions I had about changing the oil.
I've resolved my problem this way before... your vedio is very clear and understandable.. great job amigo.... cool editing
Awesome video! The details and info - Really enjoyed the viewing the taste test and gasket goo!!
OUTSTANDING job making this video - you are to be congratulated!
...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.
Awesome video!! You do a great job explaining every detail.
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!

Awesome job, detailed with complete explanation on project.
Very good video. Really liked your explanation of the whole repair.
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.
This is an excellent video! Thank you for the in-depth info!
dude you are funny and giving good info. just keep it up I'm sure you will do well
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
man, you sure know your transmissions! Thanks for a very detailed and funny video
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
Not very good with cars but your vids help me out a lot homie.
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?
just by watching this video one time i can now call myself a transmission tech.
thank you.
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?
Thanks for explaining and showing how to do this! I'm gonna do this on my 2008 grand caravan.
Dude, you were born to teach. Awesome job explaining that so even dumb guys like me can understand.👍🏼
your awesome man, enjoy and learn from all your videos.
Best tutorial I've seen so far thank you
u r awesome man...bro....very helpful to all technician..
Good teacher- u maded it easy to follow -Thank you
nice video, greatly detailed, nice job bro.
Lol "Do as I say, Not as I do!" Classic! Nice video!
I really enjoy your videos, granted i dont have a Dodge but the principles are similar. Thanks
Great video! my Taurus is in desperate need of this procedure
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
First video I’ve ever seen with a road test after replacing a part thank you for that
Hey man love the added comedy😊
Awesome video.... Great info, saved me a WHOLE LOT OF MONEY.
Very detailed work procedure, good work lad
Excellent , very informative.
Good job ... can you do a ford excursion limited diesel V8 6.0
I'm having issues with transmission
You were so precise and concise thank you.
His videos are always good.
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.
pretty straight forward.. we should 'clone the mechanic' he seems like an honest mechanic.
Awesome video, learned a lot !
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
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.
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?
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)
My chevy tahoe 99 does not go past 25 mph on D. I noticed it was empty on trans fluid and added 2 quarts. it wil drive fine on 2. would this video be my case here? thanks in advance.
FANTASTIC WORK!!
I wondered where the new scanner was? How is it working?
thanks man, Mechanic were charging so much for that
Funny and very useful video.
Keep it up buddy
kuruption1983 on in
which kind of scanner do you recommend me to get a transmission code?
awesome like always very clear explanation thank you
Nice job, great info. Will subscribe. thanks
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!
Its ah beautiful art. I always admire u guys
❤ Beautiful video! Super well done. Thank you for showing us every step. Sen sai.
thank you so much I lake your chanel every time
Good, interesting and very didactic video, I have a dodge ram 2500 year 2004, error scanner 0748, should also change the solenoid or could be another problem.?
I loved your video. Quick advise needed. I have a 2007 Honda Accord 4 cylinder with 5 speed Automatic. Car has 42,000 miles on it. When car is driven on cold day without warming up engine, transmission shifts rough from 1 to 2 and 2 to 3 for the first few shifts. If engine is first warmed up for 3 minutes before driving, then transmission shifts much better. I had transmission fluid flushed and changed at Honda dealer. It didn't help. What would cause this rough shifting when transmission fluid is cold?
Hi sir thank you for your video I have honda jazz automatic 2004 but first gear doesn't change or it is hard to change so what should I do please. Thank you so much
WOW excellent this is what I’m looking for to do in dodge, thanks so much your videos are great
I have a 95 dodge p/u with a Cummins doing the same thing any suggestions?
thanks for all those videos
now I have question: 06 nissan titan not blowing air by the front vents but it does to down and windshield
again thanks
great video I think I might have this sort of problem in my car.
this looks like an easy doable fix at least
Great job as usual.
Thanks your video help me a lot, i did the same you did and my problem solved.
lol...that was great...I wasn't expecting that one !
Liked/Subscribed just for making me Laugh !
I notice you use the Autel and it seems like a great unit for the money. How do you feel about the Verus Pro? Seems like a great and poweful unit but the price is crazy! They want like 5x more money. More money than a lot of the cars you're working on are worth.
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.
I love it! great job
wow. amazing. looks easy for you to do.
my transmission is delay when changing on gear 1 to 2 only when moving fast. but when i'm moving slow, it change gear very smooth from 1 to 2. the rest is fine. gear 3, 4. what do you think is the problem?.
Amazing video!
Last night I had this issue, twice, but after pulling over and restarting it, it worked again. Today I've had no problems, but the check engine light is on what could 5he issue possibly be?
Do you have a link to a video on how to remove the reverse solenoid?
Hello! Nice informative video.
I own a 2010 Ford Endeavour, 5 speed automatic gear box. 88,000 kms on the odometer now. Today I faced an issue when I wanted to park the truck. I shifted to "R" from "D " & I just reversed for a sec & all of a sudden the engine revved. The instrument panel showed that the gear is on "R" but, the knob can be moved forward & reverse, as if the knob is not connected to the transmission itself. Also, after this I switched off the ignition & couldnt start the car again. The instrument panel still shows that the gerabox is still in "R" but, I can pull it back to "P" to get the car started but, I was not able to do that. Seems the computer is not letting to do that as it assumes that the gear box is on "R" position. What do you think ?
Kindly advice on this.
Best regards,
Arvind.
Great video . Helped me tons. BTW the torx is 25 not the 20. Cheers.
I know this is far past the 32h question time (1 mo), but what would you think to check first for an engine click on an 03 Toyota Avalon, alongside possible power loss and occasional shuddering that vibrates the whole dash? I'm thinking it's a combination of oil gelling and something with the VVT-i, but I'm not sure at all and I don't have the tools to check. Also, when my battery dies the alternator clicks rapidly instead of attempting to turn. Is that a sign of a good, high grip belt or a bad alternator, which might also explain the battery parasite issue I'm having with it? I need external input before I decide to dig deeper on my own.
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.
