You need to have the vehicle properly diagnosed
to find a problem

No one can guess from a web site to answer the
unknown

You best have the key off when your doing all that
parts swapping or you will have issues

Don't know the systems & how they function,
leave the hood closed,what your doing was okey
in the 1950' & 60's,no more

SOURCE: 1998 dodge stratus will not shift after engine swop

Check the input shaft and output shaft speed sensors on the transmission. One is likely bad.

SOURCE: 2004 Dodge Stratus Sedan. engine light stays on,

Take the vehicle to any auto parts store that offers to read the fault codes with a scanner for free and find out what that code is. If it shows Upstream or Downstream O2 sensor replace the O2 Sensor. There is a catch, dodge had an issue in the 2000 - 2004. The ECM will show a fault code that indicates the Catalytic converter is faulty. This is actually a faulty Downstream O2 Sensor. If you get a Catalytic converter fault code replace the O2 sensor first if you still have the problem then replace the converter.

sond like you have a short all your doing is breaking the curcit and puttin it back in i would say without the key on so there fore itdont recive power all the time confussing the computer to fix it could be as easy as changing the relay if that dont fix it check for short in fuse panel but i think you have a weak or bad relay most liklyif you test your old it will probl show its good because when you test it you test to c if it makes a connection and not if it breaks connection and if it dont break connection then its shorting out and keeping constant power on it full time and when you pull it out and put it back in your reseting it and becoming the switch that the relay is suppose to be

SOURCE: 97 caravan check engine light, transmission will not up shift from 1st.

The only reasonable part is the labor charge. I couldn't second-guess the shop's recommendation, maybe both parts are needed, but you could have them replace the shift solenoid, and try driving it for awhile, see what happens. Then if you need the TCM, try a used one from a salvager for less than half the cost of new. That is something you could install yourself.
Whatever you decide, good luck.

SOURCE: 2001 dodge intrepid 2.7. Code p0605. Changed

I can't remember what a PO605 code is off-hand, but I do know that it is a PCM code, and not a BCM code. There are 2 different computers.

02 Dodge Stratus for the 2.4 engine pO700 po733

P0700 is simply the ecm recognising that the tcm (tranny) has an error code stored/registered. The one to worry about is your p0733 code. This code means the tcm detected a gear ratio error in third gear. There's 5 main possible causes. Simple/cheap -> expensive/difficult. .. Low or dirty ATF. Add fluid if low or change fluid and filter If burnt smelling or dirty/discolored. Shifting solenoid . Check or have tested the shifting solenoids . They control fluid flow and transfer to various clutch packs for gears. Hydraulic control circuit and mechanical failure. Both of these require full rebuild. Control circuit is expensive and hard to get to . Mechanicalso is usually either a worn out/pourly adjusted clutch pack causing the gear to slip or a failing torque converter.

Ihave code p0731 stuck in 1st ratio .. what mean that code?

obviously refers to auto trans , could just need the trans fluid level topping up or even changing , if this does'nt resolve the problem then a more in depth diagnosis would be required at a repair shop as could be the ECU for example but do the fluid checks and go from ther ,keep me posted

PO888 and PO700 code

In the causes for po888 the main reason is sensor circuit malfunction with the wiring poor connection being listed. Check that the wiring connectors are free of moisture and that the pins are clean and tight. code p0700 is straight out TCM problem so again I would be carefully inspecting the wiring and connections at both ends
