Hello Everyone.
Working on the Dakota again. 89 4x4 3.9 motor and automatic transmission.
Lost 2nd gear after adjusting the kick down band so I decided to drop the transmission pan and filter and remove the valve body so I could see the kick down band. What I found is when I adjusted the band somehow the adjustment screw got off the band. Thus, when I adjusted the band nothing was happening.
I have now adjusted the kick down band with the valve body removed. I'm trying to re-install the valve body and having a little problem. I just can't get it lined up properly to get the bolts started. It's almost like the parking rod is too long. I'm sure the problem is there's a spring or something in the hole that the parking rod sticks into that holds the parking rod. How can I get the parking rod all the way in the hole so the bolt holes line up correctly?
Thanks for reading!
Danny
