Hello everybody, i'm new here.
I got an 05 2500 dodge quad with an auto tranny in it. It's got 133,000 miles on it and it seems to be looking for a gear a slow speeds. From a stand still it's in first for like a second and then it seems to go to 3rd and figures out it doesn't need to be in that gear and then down shifts to 2nd. Same thing going around a corner it doesn't know what gear to shift in. It seems ok once it gets goin or if I get on it. But driving around town it shifts like crap.
This is my third 2500 Dodge I had a 99 v10, 98 cummins 24 valve and now this one.
This is drivin me crazy! Are there any known issues with these and if so what are the solutions. None of my other ones did this! PLEASE HELP! Thanks

Its called shuttle shift, its a common occurence, sometimes easy to fix other times not.

Start out by replacing the governor pressure solenoid and pressure sensor on the valve body. Its the most common culprit.

A shift enahcer like DTT's piec e works quite well also. A shift kit is a great way to eliminate some of these problems.

Thanks for the tip. Any idea of what that solinoid costs? And how hard is it to change?

I'm having this same problem.

I tried adjusting the front band, thinking that was the problem, but it didn't work at all.

Any more info on those solenoids or the kit listed above would be greatly appreciated! :thumbsup

The DTT Shift Enhanser cured my tranny. $265.

The BD valve body assembly will also fix this issue since it comes complete with new solenoids attached and will make that tranny shift like it should. very easy install also with 1 year parts and labor warranty. labor meaning if there is an issue they pay to have it fixed

I called the dealer today to get the price on parts

He said the transducer is 68.10
and the solinoid is 113.00

He said they usually change them both when they do it

Where can I get one of those DTT things for $265?

Hey thanks,
How hard is it to put in that BD Valve body. Is it unbolt the old one and put in the new one? Or is it more involved with a bunch of springs and little parts and stuff?

no little parts or springs it is all assembled. just a very simple bolt in and comes with HD band strut gasket and filter. it takes about 1 hr for the entire set up

I put in the BD VB and cured the issue. Truck shifts perfect and no more searching between gears. Love it. Get the VB, specially if your going to add power

You will still need the Shift Enhanser to fix the problem. The 05-07 48RE shifts electronically. Just putting in the VB won't cure the shifting issues.
