A coworker has a mid 90's Dodge 1500, 318 engine,
auto trans.
He says the transmission is staying in high gear,
will not shift, as in takes off in high, stays in
high. It does have neutral and reverse. The
converter is not locked. There is a code set, I
don't know what the code is.
He's been told there is a problem with a solenoid
valve inside the trans. I asked if he looked at
the wire harness, said it was a mangled mess... So
there's your problem. He was supposed to fix it
this weekend, instead he took it to some
transmission shop Monday.
They supposedly replaced a solenoid valve and the
harness. It didn't change anything.
Now they want their money, "here's your still
broke truck"...
I'll probably be the one to fix it, junk truck,
he's struggling with a young wife and sick baby,
hospital bills, etc.
Any ideas?
