How to Fix an Automatic Transmission That Won’t Shift – Replace Pressure Solenoid, Fluid and Filter

In this video I will be working on a Dodge Ram 1500 that has an Automatic transmission that won’t shift past 1st gear, it has a check engine light and the code is P1756 (Governor Pressure Not Equal to Target at 15-20 PSI). I will show you how you can replace this solenoid and also how you can service your automatic transmission as well.

Do you mean a gallon and a half.  Instead of a quart and a half?

TwitchRadio says:

What if your have a problem kinda like what you are talking about here.. But… When taking off seem okay till you hit about 2( RPM and it jerks three or four times like you're stepping on the gas pedal repeatedly and then goes into second gear

Daniel Limbeck says:

Chris Samurai says:

I went to test drive a 2005 Sentra, and the car was driving fine. The problem I noticed it, was staying in high RPM, I think stayed in 3rd gear and that is it. What is the issue right here. Thanks.

Leroy Ware says:

Dude you are a hero. My 1999 Dodge Ram 5.9l would not shift it was showing the exact symptoms as this truck. I bought the solenoid because it was inexpensive and was full of doubt but when I got it in it actually worked it shifts finally props to you man

Jason Cowan says:

I have a 97 ram and once I drive It for a while it seems to kick out of overdrive and won't go back in. My o/d off button comes on when this happens. I push it to get o/d on , it does nothing. What's my problem? I went to trans shop and only code was for torque converter.

Jon Larsen says:

some Dodge trucks need to be put in nuteral to check fluid level.

geaR says:

What if your car won't upshift but the transmission fluid was black and smelled. Will replacing the solenoid fix the problem? I dont have a scanner to get a diagnoise code.

ThePariss333 says:

And always out of gas, ja,ja,ja, .

M Watkins says:

In my 01 dodge pickup 1500 the transmission doesn’t want to go into gear till the motor has ran a couple of minutes. But works fine after that. What could cause this. I’ve had this problem for years since I had work done on transmission. I hope you can help me

Paul Batts says:

You saved me alot of money!The transmission shop told me I had to have a new tranny!
