The indicator for my auto trans does not highlight the "P" when I shift into Park. As a result, the truck won't start since it appears the trans is not in Park. If I push hard on the shift lever, the Park will highlight. Is there an adjustment to the linkage to allow it to go into Park easily Thanks for your past help. It saved me a lot of money. |

Hi i had a 2001 Dakota Sport 4x4 4.9L with some tranny issues, i notice that over 70km/h when the overdrive comes on that it will randomly kick off and my RPM's surge up about 500rpm or so then the overdrive will re-enguage and then dis-enguace, this happens both on slight inclines as well as on flat stretches of road. I notice that if i keep the vehicle under slight acceleration this problem doesnt occur, its only when i try to maintain my speed. Is this the TPS or something else? Thanks for your time. |

What is the maximum pull weight for a 98 Dodge Dakota ext cab, with a 3.8 V6? I don't have a manual so I need to know. Thanks, Dave

My 1999 Dodge Dakota (65,000 miles) has developed a significant transmission whine when in overdrive. Other than the noise, everything seems fine. I thought at first that it was the tires, so didn't pay a lot of attention. This has been going on for about 15,000 miles and nothing has fallen apart. Any observations or suggestions? Thanks, Jim

Ihave a 2001 Dakota with the 42RE transmission. I took it to a Dodge dealer because the transmission was acting up. It would not stay in high gear on the road. It aways wants to downshift. I figured out the following. 1. In O/D the transmission acts like it wants to downshift all the time. 2. with O/D off the transmission shifts up to the next higher gear but does it slowly( high RPMS), if I shift it into nuetral and back to drive it shifts correctly. 3. It always downshifts properly when I come to a stop with O/D off. 4. Occasionally when I am stopped at a light it surges forward for a secon then stops I have been looking for the cause because I had taken it in to get the fluid replaced and the dealership told me the fluid was fine. Since it drives differently in O/D than without it I think it is electronic. I have read the TPS fix and taking the negative lead off the battery which I am trying now. Please let me know if anyone might know what is going on with my truck. I just bought it used a month ago and I love it but dont want to replace the transmission if I dont have to. |
