3 years later and this video is still helping people man lol i was all worried with this truck i bought thinking the trans was going out. Fluid didn't look too dark and isnt slipping so figured it had to be something simple. Thanks man!

I'm here for the same lol

Thank you for the detailed video. Originally, I applied the TSB 21-009-07 (1-2 Shift Hunt At Light Throttle) and ended up replacing the Governor Pressure Solenoid and full ATF flush per the TSB. This adjustment on the TV / kick-down cable worked for me and now my truck drives normally.

Thanks a lot after a 1000 putting it in the mechanic shop and still not fixed your video solved my problem

Very helpful, I just rebuilt my sons 47re 24v and 1-2 is 3k rpm. I could not figure out how to fix my problem. I thought it was the shift kit 1-2acc spring. Thanks for making this video. Saved me much time!!!

Thanks for the video saved me a lot of money and time the white clip was completely missing on the truck i jus purchased we put a screw in it to hold it temporarily an made sure that fixed it now we have a new cable coming!

Other than the motion sickness I now have, it was great! Thank you...

Really well done video. Thanks.

Awesome information! Thank you‼️

Very good information. Good job

Thanks just what I needed truck was shifting at around 30mph to 2nd gear now it shifts at about 20mph

Thanks bro very helpful, i have the same truck also maybe get a magnetic camera holder , less sea sick from being jostled around

That clip is supposed to let the cable self adjust. You put it on without pulling on the cable. When you go WOT it pulls the cable adjustment through like a ratchet if it's too short. The problem with mine was the cable was sticking and not retracting. Some repeated sprays of lubi-doobi at the top and wiggling at the trans finally freed it up.

That's what mine did, 3.9 magnum but same cable, ya? So I used this vid, first in search results, bc I couldn't remember how the clip went, and noticed as soon as I pulled the clip it sprung back a bit, I put it back on and sure enough, throttle all the way down and maxes out on the trans side, just where it should be for initial adjustment

With my cable all the way tight it shuttle shifts through 1, and 2nd before. 15mph. Tested line pressure snd it's wayyyy to low. Rebuild time!!!

Also called detent cable.

Nice video.. so my question is I have a 1995 dodge with the 47rh and at wide open throttle is taking to long to shift at 3000 rpm, should I loose the cable to make it shift faster and a lower RPM?

If you don’t have fuel upgrades like governor springs it will take a long time to get to 3,000rpms. I would lower the shift point if your 12 valve is all stock.

Loved your video. Great job. I am wondering your opinion on the mm3 smarty touch tuner for 2004 ram 2500 5.9 common rail is it a good tuner or are there better opinions matter.

I am confused. Do you not want it to downshift into first? If it doesn't downshift to first and start in first gear something is wrong. Let me know what you think.

Great video! I definitely need to adjust it on my truck it shifts pretty hard for just casual driving, could this be the reason my truck will sometimes start off in second gear as well?

@DarksideDiesel

2nd gear starts usually caused by governor pressure solenoid. You would have to hook up a scanner capable of reading that parameter. If it is seeing the incorrect pressure early on it will start in 2nd gear. I will do a video one day on it to help people out like yourself.

I'm having a problem going up hills with a load. The last time it happened my od light was blinking, I used to have a problem with 1 2 shuttle shift but after my friend adjusted cable I dont have that problem anymore.. what do you think i have going on?

@DarksideDiesel

10 ай бұрын

That could have been caused by low line pressure. If he pulled the cable tighter then line pressure increased and may have kept it from shifting back down and up.

should you do this after you have had your trans and converter rebuilt? when I have a 47re in my 24v and just cruiseing and I stomp on it it revs out and doesn’t do anywhere and that’s to the floor.

@DarksideDiesel

Honestly that to me sounds like an internal issue with clutches slipping. Possible if the TV cable is not getting pulled enough then you won't have correct line pressure to keep clutches from slipping. After a rebuild or valve body work you should adjust the cable. Try adjusting it and see if it helps.

I tore down my 47re found the bands had not been adjusted like the previous owner said had been done for the first return for service after the rebuild on the transmission. So I thought I was still 5k good for bands adjustment. Wrong! Black fluid. Back band down to almost steel. Wear on drum resurfaced and checked for out of round. Then installed 727 bands thicker. Make sure Kevlar. Check with my pro builder he agreed. All my clutchs and plates were like new after almost 60k on rebuilt transmission i mean ou could sill see he print on it and no show of heat bluing on plates. I had bought a 600 hp rebuild kit. But i didn't install. Did install shift kit and GM upgrade. After reinstaling to find out that my real problem was the bands need adjusting every 24k the 1st 2nd is set from outside the overdrive from inside the pan. DO the upgraded pan with a drain plug or install one. But new pan adds 2 more qts more fluid witch is better. The other thing I found was my TV cable was stuck with fraid wire so line pressure for shifting not correct. And not accelerating correctly as well. Also bought new battery cable connectors and cleaned and checked ground and installed a cable emf shield over the wire to the alternator. All this to find out it was 3 things were wrong ground/emf, bands, and TV cable. My 1997 Cummins 4x4 3500 put out just a little over 700 ft pounds to the wheels and get 16 to 18 towing my 24' airstream. So if you keep your bands adjusted and your liquid cool and your transmission with the GM upgrade should do well with your 47re.

This work for 46re also? My 2000 dodge ram has a 46 re and shift points are off big time and slow crawl up hill, Trans was rebuilt not to long ago.

Sooooo I have a 47re and I feel like it shifts out of first damn near immediately after take off and shifts super hard into second. Does that sound like it could possibly be the cable? It’s a rebuilt transmission as of 5k miles ago

I have a 04 3500 4x4 dually. Does not drop into 1st, start out in second. Is this a symptom that this adjustment could fix? My first attempt was to install new GP Solenoid, transducer, speed sensor, filter, new fluid and adjusted bands. Still not dropping into first.

check your governor solenoid

my 99 cummins shifts out of first way too early & when coasting to a red light that changes green, ill get on it to start going again & if im almost stopped it will start in second almost everytime. 2-3 & 3-OD shifts are nice and smooth and work exactly how they should. just 1-2 is very short. think adjusting the cable a 1/16th” tighter increments should work until i find a sweet spot? trans has 100,000 kilometres on a full rebuild & i never beat on it

So mine 2500 changes gears pretty well except when i stop or slow down, it doesn't throw it to first gear and tries to keep going with second gear. Enough throtle like 3/4 or more and it pops the first gear on and goes again... soo... i need to move the cable towards the radiatot? It's 1995 so R47H i think? And 30 000 miles ago done large maintenance on the box so im pretty sure that cable is the problem. And thanks for the video. It was really helpfull but you need a camera man!

@DarksideDiesel

I haven't done much with 47RH models but I believe they are all hydraulically controlled. RE is electric. But I think moving it forward to radiator will lower line pressure possible allowing it to downshift to first. Do very small adjustments and try. Do not want to lower line pressure to much. That will cause clutch slippage.

@DarksideDiesel

That is correct. Also remember you want to make sure your wide open shifts are at the correct rpm after adjustment. They should be around that 3,000-3,200rpm mark. The looser the cable also means the lower the line pressure for your clutches. Only make small adjustments.

That tool looked like a air brake tool for adjusting lol

No it does not. The cable controls 1 to 2 and 2 to 3. The TCM controls overdrive solenoid by throttle position and output shaft speed.

It can be caused by faulty wiring. Bad battery connections. BD makes a noise isolation for the TCM on those too. Clean all your battery connections and grounds. Put on the BD isolator. This is the most common I see.
