P1756 Help please

antp1987 · Mar 17, 2014

My tranny has been having issues shifting for a while. Finally a P1756 code came up. Apparently it means "governor pressure not equal to target". I've been doing some research and it sounds like i need to change the Governor pressure solenoid and governor pressure sensor.
1. Is this what you guys would recommend too?
2. If yes, how the hell do i do it? I would LOVE to see some sort of write up or video, or at least some detailed instructions on how to do it.

If you have any other suggestions, please let me know those as well.
thanks

If you have the 2001 FSM you can find this info on page 2175. If you don't have the FSM you can download it here free.

1756 I believe is a failing governor pressure solenoid.

Download the file linked in this thread: http://www.ramforum.com/f77/2nd_gen_service_manual-986/
It is the 2001 Dodge factory service manual and has everything for the Ram truck in it.

*edit*
Damn, ninja'd by Papa Merc!

Just curious, what was the difference? Feel or reliability of shifts?

It is a pretty easy job. Drop transmission oil pan, the solenoid and sensor are both easy access on the valve body. May as well do a band adjustment while you're in there. For that you will need an inch/pound torque wrench. One of the band adjusters is inside the pan, the other is on the outside of the transmission housing.

Well I had P1764 code for the governor and when heading out to work moving from the 35-55mph sections it wouldn't shift from 3rd to 4th, also didn't like to go from 1st -2nd all the time, shifts great now

OEM governor is kinda restrictive I think, noticed alot of gunk in there, replaced with OEM tho (don't ask lol) and changed fluid while in there, did change both pieces too to be sure

Edit: Reliability of shifts got alot better, shifts firmer
