Did the trans come with the proper fluid(recommended by Chrysler) and level. was the whole system flushed? Reused sensors could be an issue if one or more is faulty.

Testimonial: "yes the warranty would not have covered the swap if the had not used the proper trans fluid, which I believe was atf4, but I did notice today that when you first use it for the day that it shifts really smooth until it hits normal operating temp, thasts when the hard shifting starts. the shop (which is a national chain) says all sensors are good, but the one in the front is the original sensor and since this is the second brand new tranny do you think I should swap the the front one,? or does that operating temp give you any ideas. I"ve read others say the had the computer updated and the problem went awa for a while only to return. thanks much for your input no one semms to know how to solve this not even dodge."

Dave, The P0700 code is a generic fault code indicating the the TCM (transmission control module) has recognized a problem and the P0755 is the indicated problem. I'd recommend you check your transmission external electrical connector for water intrusion and corrosion at the terminals by disconnecting the connector. If nothing appears wrong, I'd then recommend you drop the lower transmission pan and take a look at the residue deposit that is laying on the bottom of the pan. You should only see a relativily minor amount of grayish, black clutch material residing there. Pay particular attention for a gross amount of this or any large particular material, including any metal, either filings or chunks, or any brass or aluminum. If this checks out to be fairly clean, then I'd recommend you replace that "B" solenoid (2-3 shift solenoid) and have the trans. pan and filter replaced.; I'd also highly recommend you have the trans flushed for anyother particular matter that may reside internally inside the transmission. You'll have to have the codes cleared and the transmission relearned for shift feel, at that point.

Here are a couple of things you can try for free if you are mechanically inclined, if you are unsure don't do this yourself.
i can't think of the exact wording for 1787 but is either shift control or torque lock up.
1)If this is the first time you have had a scanner on it since the new tranny was put in, this code could have been set when it did not shift that day, it will stay in the memory until cleared manually, if it only happened once,it could be why it did not set the check engine light.
2) Now you are going to have to get dirty,Dodge is known for having leaky connections on the tranny thus allowing fluid to get into them from the inside. Get yourself a pair of safety glasses with side sheilds, a small can of aerosol brake clean, and a can of compressed air (the kind you clean computers with) and a tube of di-electric grease.
Do this one connector at a time,PUT ON SAFETY GLASSES,disconnect then spray a little air in them to remove fluid then spray a little brake clean on them do not soak them then spray air to dry, repeat this 2 or 3 times apply a liberal amount of di-electric grease re connect

You can save yourself some money by doing this yourself or have a friend do this for you
If you want to erase the code, disconnect the negative battery cable for 30 minutes, do this while you are cleaning the connectors,
If the code comes back up,it ia probably internal

Hope this helps

SOURCE: Dodge Durango Transmission Problem

Code 0753 means Transmission 3-4 shift solenoid or transmission relay circuit problem. The PCM (engine computer) is seeing an incorrect input electrically for the gear or speed it should be seeing. You will need to find a qualified transmission shop to diagnose the problem. Possible causes for the trouble code start with worn/dirty fluid, electrical repairs & transmission overhaul.

Hi,

Here is some possible reasons why your transmission is having those problems .

* The gear shift linkage is binding
* There is an internal problem in the transmission
* The throttle cable is broken or disconnected
* The vacuum modulator on the transmission is faulty or the vacuum line is damaged
* The electronic transmission control circuit may be faulty

but most times reverse failing is bad news.
aside from cable shifters failing.
the cables are 20 years old.
uses how many times, shifted now. gee huge.
and cables do fail for sure RUST there happens.
easy
the service manual tells how to check the shifter
in PRNDL, to be sure it shifts into tranny selector detents properly. , even make sure Park works can car not be able to be pushed brakes off.

2005 chrysler 300 limited. Rear PDC fuse #37 (NAG1 transmission control) has no terminals in slot to accept fuse. Why? Where is TCM fuse then?

when did car last run perfect for you, never, or after hacks?
no real problem told ,just a fuse hunt
and you have no service manual, USA car. not told
nor told , what engine is there size, NAG1 is MB trans.
PDC Fuse 37 runs the module transmission control. 15amps fuse
battery the relay transmission drive F37
F37 box is not used for RLE box. just Nag1
F26 is RLE.
so some one put wrong PDC on this car?
or RPO shows 42RLE, coded trans, (GM)
42RLE is GM
NAG1 iS MB , German box
Mercedes NAG1, 722.6, W5A580 ( seen in my Jeep 2010 GC.)

here it is for sure and lots more fuse , not just 1. for trans.
f37-undefined-undefined-0.jpgare you dead sure its NAG1 and not 42RLE box
side of box tells that. TAG.
and VIN code too. has trans code.

99 dodge ram 4x4 w 360 engine trans has only 1st gear and reverse

Are you saying you put in a new but used tranny and it still dosent go out of first gear? Or are you saying you replaced a tranny line? If its the tranny you replace and first is the only gear you may not have adjusted the shifting linkage correctly. Put the truck in park and loosen the linkage on the tranny and slidr the rod on the tranny back and retigten and try that

The tranny fluid is full but brown and smells like gas...any idea

Transmission is worn and previous owner has added transmission fluid additives like Lucas transmission oil to try to make it last longer. The fluid is burn and needs to be changed, best thing to do is to have the transmission fluid and filter changed and add some additives to the fluid and try not to drive it to hard.
It shift's hard when your driving at normal speeds because the fluid is thicker then it should and the transmission line pressure is higher due to the thicker fluid. At WOT the transmission slips so it seams smoother and that's why the fluid is burnt.
Good luck and hope this helps. Do not do a trany flush, the transmission is already worn out, but the dirty fluid will make it worst too.

Intermitten hard shift 1-2, 2-3, flare shift into 4th

The trani is electronically controlled. without a diagnostic computer you are not going to know. It may be the speed sensors (for the trani.) but thats a guess. how long since the last trani service. Fluid level and condition can affect its perfomance. Good luck.
