98 ram 1500 wont shift into third or fourth gear

I may also add that the odometer and speedometer are broke.

We had the speed sensor on the tranny checked last time we were in. It wasn't bad, they said it still worked fine. I'll probably check the tranny filter tonight if I can. I am at school currently, so I'll keep you updated. Also at about 4700 you can hear a wisteria from the engine. Probably unrelated, but IDK. I Appreciate the help.

Ment to say at 4700rpm you hear a whistle. Dang autocorrect.

Saw a video were a guy had the same issues. It was a governor pressure sensor and a governor pressure solenoid he called em. Anyways, they are in the transmission and easy to get to. Just need to drain the fluid and bolt of the bracket they are on. Cost about 200$ for both so they will come soon. Anyways, we replaced the rear axle speed sensor today and fixed the odometer and speedometer, as well as the ABS light and Brake light.

I have a Dodge Ram 3500 van with the exact same issues...abs, brake, check engine lights on, no speedo, and won't shift into 3rd or 4th gear. Did the governor pressure solenoid fix your shifting problems??

thats easy needs tranducer and gov pressure switch its comon

Did you ever figure out what the problem was? My dodge is currently having this problem.

Yeah, but you wont want to try it. A couple days after this, not saying how this happened, but the truck got shifted into reverse at somewhere around 7 mph, and suddenly is started working normal lol. I wouldn't recommend that though xD

change the govoner pressure solenoid and transducer after that it will run like a raped date

dodge= dude on dude gay entertainment

Same problem but no engine light came on. I replaced the speed sensor, same problem. Next I dropped the pan and replaced the Governer pressure solenoid, governor pressure sensor and transmission filter. This solved the problem, the truck runs well again. I got the whole kit for $99 on ebay and it came with replacement gaskets too.

hey sideshow24 what was the part number for the kit you got from ebay? my 97 is doing the same thing. no check engine light but sometimes doesnt want to shift from 3rd to 4th without letting off the gas. does that sound like the goveror pressure solenoid and sensor??

I have a dodge ram truck 1500 360 4x4 automatic transmission does not shift out of 2nd rpm keeps going up and still won't shift any suggestions

I'm dealing with this, now. I've replaced both speed shift sensors, with no luck. I've heard that a bad I2 sensor, can also cause shifting problems, because they draw voltage from the transmission. Also fuses or relays can cause this. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

O2 sensor. Not i2
