2008 Chrysler Town & Country where does the transmission fluid pressure located at??
where does the transmission fluid pressure located at??
What is your question?
The day before I was driving on a muddy road and I kept getting stuck and the day after a P0841(transmission fluid pressure sensor/switch A circuit Range/ performance) engine code popped up.
I don't know if it was because of the muddy road that triggered the code??
so I purchased a transmission fluid pressure sensor
and I tried looking for the transmission fluid pressure sensor, it is NO were to be found. I looked underneath the van and which I unscrewed the transmission pan and the transmission valve body, including the side cover of the transmission(close to the driver side wheel)... after I screwed the pan back on there was 1 single check ball missing.
after I started up the vehicle there was a another engine code that popped up P0732, would the 1 single check ball have caused the code to pop up?? and NOW when I turn of the vehicle and put it into to Drive it seems it be slipping / jerks.
2 OBD codes ON NOW
-P0841
-P0732
Please help me get my vehicle running LOL
What makes this problem better or worse?
Putting it in DRIVE its worst after I unscrewed the transmission pan and now it slips/jerks

Hi, this is Bo, an auto expert on RepairPal's Car Genius team!
Looks like you're knee-deep in a transmission mystery, and yes, that muddy road could've played a role. Code **P0841** points to an issue with the transmission fluid pressure sensor (TFPS), usually located inside the transmission on the valve body. Since you've already removed the pan and valve body, you were close! On the 62TE transmission in your 2008 Town & Country, the TFPS is integrated into the solenoid pack—so you’re likely looking at replacing the whole pack.
Now, about that missing check ball: it’s critical. Those tiny spheres control fluid flow in the valve body. Losing one can definitely cause **P0732** (gear ratio error in 2nd gear), leading to the slipping/jerking. Without it, your transmission can't direct fluid pressure correctly, which is essential for proper gear engagement.
Your best bet? Reassemble with a replacement check ball and verify proper placement. If slipping continues, the solenoid pack and possibly a relearn procedure for the transmission control module may be needed.
