PDD DODGE RAM Transmission Throttle Pressure Adjustment Procedure Manual

DODGE RAM Transmission Throttle Pressure Adjustment Procedure Manual. My intention here is to show Dodge Ram truck owners with the automatic transmission how to properly adjust the shift points of their transmission. These pictures are from my 1999 Ram 1500 with the 5.9 liter V-8 engine. When I bought my truck, I quickly decided I didn’t like the factory set shift points. It shifted too soon under light and medium throttle…and passing gear/kickdown required a lot of gas pedal to achieve. My desire was to have the 1-2 shift and the 2-3 shift occur at a higher road speed/ engine rpm and to have a more sensitive kickdown. In my case, this was accomplished by adjusting the transmission throttle pressure cable only 1/4″ (0.25 inches). What is the throttle pressure cable? Between the throttle linkage and the driver’s side of the transmission there is a cable that causes a valve inside the transmission to move in relation to throttle position (gas pedal position). This cable is also referred to as the Throttle Valve (T.V.) cable. What does it do? The T.V. cable moves the throttle valve in the transmission…..which in turn controls THREE things: 1) the transmission line pressure and 2) the transmission shift timing and 3) the transmission kickdown (or passing gear). Many people mistakenly believe it only performs function number three.
