Asked by Lessie08 Mar 12, 2013 at 12:02 PM about the 1997 Dodge RAM 1500 ST Club Cab 4WD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

My 1997 dodge ram transmission went out, so I put a 2001 dodge ram transmission in, Now it's not shifting properly. I know for sure that the transmission is good because It done great in my other truck, I did read on other forums that some things had to be swapped so Does anyone know what I would need to change?

I have a 2002 Dodge Ram 1500 4x4 4.7 Sport. I recently put in a new/used motor because my old one had a bad crankshaft. So after getting new motor in I started the truck and it ran great. I only ran it for about 5 seconds because I noticed I had a broken transmission line. I went back the next day and fixed the line. I went to start the truck back up and nothing happened. No click no nothing, everything lights up on dash. My engine light comes on and blinks about tens times than stays steady. My gear selections are all lit up. Does anyone know the do it yourself solution? 1 Answer
