TCC lock up issues by mmulvenna

Hi, just had this fixed on my 99 Ram Diesle. There is a dealer only manual that lists about 25 reasons for these transmission to go in and out of lock up. The name is something like "Dodge Jeep transmission service manual". In my case the first time it was the transmission relay and this time it was one of the grounds. As I said there is a list of these things to check and the repair for each. If anyone can get that manual I would like a copy of the list. It comes from the Automatic Transmission Service Group, 18635 South West 107 Avenue, Miami Florida 33157 (phone # 305 670 4161) apperently it costs a lot to belong to this group but the guides they publish are the ones the shops use and the tech notes are very good. If anyone can get it pls email me a copy mmulvennapersona.ca

99 Dodge trans problem? by j5cook

I have a 99 Dodge 1500 sport 4x4. When I first get in the truck and take off everything is fine but after 1/2 mile or so my RPMs jump and it feels like it's gone. I'll stop and put it in first (its automatic by the way) and nothing second usually works and drive is gone. Now I let it set over night or so and get in and everything is working again until 1/2 mile. If someone could diagnose this problem I would really appreciate it.

I have an 02 dodge 1500. Pending on the year and transmission you have you might want to check the (TV) Throttle Valve cable. I did this per the Haynes manual I have for my year and all looked good. I went to three repair shops and they tried to sell me an overhaul. I eventually took it to someone I could trust and they Diagnosed it and forund the (TV) cable out of adjustment. I had them do the tranny service while it was there. Runs like a champ now, better than before. $40.00 for the adjustment was a lot better to swallow than $3000.00. Invest in the Haynes manual first. You can save alot of $ if you know what your talking about, before you take it somewhere.

Also I forgot to tell you that in the Haynes manual it states that the (TV) cable might be adjusted and working fine when it is cold but will not work after it reaches operating temp. Something to look at.

We just bought a 1998 Ram 2500. After we got it home (illinois doesn't have a lemon or any used car protection laws) the check engine light came on PO740. My husband did the check you described for flow and got about 3 quarts in 20 seconds. It keeps down shifting back to first and gets really high rpms before it shifts to second. It never did this on our test drive or when we had it overnight. Does it seem that the transmission is toast or should we flush the whole thing out and replace the hoses when we change the transmission fluid and filter. Could it be the filter plugged. It doesn't smell burnt but there are no records of it being changed since 38,000 miles and it has 89,000. The guy to own it before us said he never changed it. It is not burnt smelling smells like old fluid. We are so disqusted this dealer seemed to know before we told him that there were problems. On a dodge will the error code light go out after a little while or after you run the codes? It went out but the codes are still there and the problem is still there. We didn't erase codes the law in illinois doesn't let part stores do that anymore. Could it be the bands just need tightening since the transmission has apparently never been serviced.
