44RE Tcc Solenoid, new and ready to install. Fits the 44RE. Ships fast from the USA.
This is a new replacement lock-up (TCC) and overdrive solenoid assembly with the internal wiring harness for the 42RE and 44RE, the light-duty Chrysler four-speed behind the 4.0L in the Grand Cherokee and the V6 in many Dakotas. It is an unbranded aftermarket unit built to the factory 52118500AB pattern, also cross-referenced to 14898722 and 52-0347, and it suits the owner who needs a working solenoid pack at a lower price than the Mopar-boxed part. Buyers usually land here because the converter will not lock at highway speed, the truck will not upshift into fourth, or a scan tool shows P0740 or P1740.
In the 44RE, first through third gear are hydraulic, timed by the governor circuit. The PCM steps in for two jobs, and both coils for them sit on this one bracket. The overdrive solenoid commands the 3-4 upshift into the overdrive unit. The TCC solenoid controls the torque converter clutch: Chrysler's manual for this family describes lock-up as hydraulically applied and released when the TCC solenoid vents the circuit, with engagement in fourth gear, or in third when the O/D switch is turned off. The harness carries a single power feed to both coils through a round 8-pin case connector, then branches to the governor solenoid and pressure sensor, which is why a harness fault can upset more than lock-up.
Measure each coil through the case connector with the harness unplugged. ATSG puts both the overdrive and TCC solenoids at 25 to 40 ohms, so an open coil or a dead short means the assembly is bad. Next confirm feed voltage with the engine running and that the PCM pulls each circuit to ground. A solenoid that tests good but still gives no lock-up usually points at the hydraulics: ATRA's GEARS magazine has tied worn switch valve bores to lock-up apply and release complaints on high-mileage RE valve bodies. Our RE shift solenoid testing guide has the step-by-step coil checks, and the valve body testing guide covers the bore wear that a new solenoid will not fix.
The 52118500AB pattern is the 2000-and-later layout, and the listing's application chart starts at model year 2000, covering Dakota and Durango through 2003 and Ram 1500, 2500 and van models later than that, plus the 46RE and 47RE that share the assembly. For a 42RE or 44RE, the practical check is the governor pressure sensor: Sonnax notes the oval-connector sensor on 1999-and-earlier units and the rectangular plastic sensor on later ones. If yours has the early oval sensor, use the 1996-1999 solenoid and harness set. A rebuilt or swapped valve body may not match its model year, so look under the pan or send us your year and VIN before ordering. More parts for this unit are on the 42RE/44RE parts page.
No relearn or programming is needed. If you prefer the factory-boxed part, the Mopar 52118500AB version covers the same years.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
No. It is a new unbranded replacement built to the 52118500AB pattern, cross-referenced to 14898722 and 52-0347. We also carry the Mopar-boxed 52118500AB if you prefer the factory part.
It is the 2000-up design. Units with the early oval-connector governor pressure sensor need the 1996-1999 set. Check the sensor plug under the pan or send us your year and VIN.
Not for this transmission. Both coils sit on one bracket with a shared harness, so the assembly is replaced as a unit.
ATSG lists 25 to 40 ohms for each coil, measured through the case connector with the harness unplugged.
Check for PCM ground commands, cooler flow and switch valve bore wear in the valve body. A worn converter clutch is the last item on the list.
ATF+4 with a new filter and pan gasket. No relearn is required after the install.
