1997 Dodge Dakota TCM
Dedicated transmission computer for the 1997 Dodge Dakota. It reads shaft speed and driver demand, then commands line pressure, shifts, and converter lockup.
On the 1997 Dakota, the TCM watches input and output shaft speed and decides when to shift. When it starts to fail you get limp, a flashing OD lamp, or a start-in-second — even after a clean fluid service.
How a tired TCM acts
- no-start when hot, fine the next morning
- persistent cam or crank codes after the sensors were replaced
- harsh garage shifts that a filter and fluid did not change
- speedometer that dies and the trans then has no idea what gear to command
- speedometer dropouts that make the automatic flare
We program it to your VIN before it ships, including the immobilizer so the keys you already have are the ones the car expects. Lifetime warranty. Ground shipping is $14.95.
