#388 of 693 transmission problem by rtm7550 Jul 13, 2008 (1:32 pm)
I have a 2005 dakota quad cab w/ 4.7L v8 magnum engine it has 25,000 miles on it. Yesterday i drove over to a friends house ( 10mi.) no problems. 5minutes later I went to leave and got to end of driveway stopped at stop sign when I pressed on the gas, truck wouldn't go. it was like I was in neutral. put gear in park then tried reverse same thing. We pushed it back to her parking space. I checked the tranny fluid and was less then a 1/4 of a qt. low. which I replaced. A few hours later l tried again truck shifted gears and engaged fine but tranny seems to be making a "whirling" noise like it's turning but not catching right away when I put it in P and D. And it "clunks" when I put it in Park. I'm taking it into the dealer's tomorrow but wondering if anyone has had similar problems. I notice that for the past week when shifting into D it seemed to be in neutral but when I "wiggled" gear shift it was fine. This only happened a few times. Other then that truck has ran fine Replies to this message: bpeebles (Jul 13, 2008 1:52 pm) rtm7550 (Jul 13, 2008 4:18 pm) disumia (Jul 13, 2008 7:39 pm) rtm7550 (Jul 14, 2008 9:51 am)

Replying to: rtm7550 (Jul 13, 2008 1:32 pm) Lets hope that you added ONLY the Dodge-approved automatic-xmission fluid. (Using Dexron...etc is asking for trouble) Replies to this message: rtm7550 (Jul 13, 2008 4:18 pm)

Replying to: rtm7550 (Jul 13, 2008 1:32 pm) i use to once in a blue moon have the same issue with my 01 quad and then all of a sudden about a month ago i noticed that when i would stop it almost felt like the abs would kick in. then my check engine light came on. i took it to aamco to find that there is a pressure ring in a planarity gear Over drive. that had broke and was causing slippage. so you may want to have it checked.

#394 of 693 94 dakota tranny pan leak by duhkoda55 Aug 12, 2008 (6:45 pm)
I hope someone can help me out I have a 94 dakota 2wd and i just rebuilt the tranny in it but i have a leak from the pan. There is a brand new gasket on it I was thinking to drop the pan back down and put just RTV on it. would that be a good ideal or no.
#395 of 693 Re: Shifting out of park without pressing brake [freeshifting] by gsfr659 Aug 14, 2008 (4:28 pm)
Replying to: freeshifting (Feb 15, 2008 6:54 am) I have a 2001 QC 4.7 4x4 and recently recieved a letter from the local dealer that there was a recall on the switch that requires you to depress the brake to remove the vehicle from park. They said it was a safety hazard. I've had no problems with mine though.
#397 of 693 leaking fluid by djnew Sep 02, 2008 (10:12 am)
I have a 1999 Dakota Sport, 2WD. It has been serviced and rebuilt once already. Since the rebuild if I leave the truck sit for 7 days or so, I notice a puddle of tranny fluid under it. It continues to grow to a sizable puddle. My mechanic tells me if a Dakota is left to sit for several days the fluid drains down to the pan and comes out through a valve. i have never heard of a transmission not being a sealed system. Should the transmission be leaking if left unused? Also, it has a tendancy to shift very hard into gear at 32 mph. If I accelerate quickly is seems to shift smooth. If I drive slowly it gets to 30 or 32 and really strains to shift. Any ideas?? Replies to this message: bpeebles (Sep 02, 2008 4:12 pm) dustyk (Sep 03, 2008 6:00 pm)
