I picked up a new to me Ram, 2004 with 205k miles for $1800.
Tranny shifts fine through all gears, but maybe takes a while to accelerate in first. It’s hard to take off without accelerating hard or spinning the rear but hard to say that’s a tranny issue and not throttle position sensor
Transmission codes are
P0700- generic
P0731- 1st gear ratio
P0736- reverse ratio
P0841- transmission fluid sensor pressure A
It is leaking a bit of tranny fluid but still measured at the right level on flat ground
Is it worth it to do a fluid change, both filters, solenoid pack and rebuild the valve body without doing more? Not confident and don’t have the skills for a full rebuild. Can anyone recommend a brand for a new solenoid pack?
Or would you look anything else? Maybe just the pressure sensor is out causing problems? I’d rather spend an extra bit of money and only have to drop the pan once.
