| I have a 05 3500 and my trans will not come out of first. But I can stop and put it back into park, and then again into drive and it wil go to third gear and then shift into overdrive. Band adjustment has been suggested but just wanted to see if anyone else has had this problem. If so your know how would be greatly apprec. | |

Replying to: cwiseguy (Jun 23, 2009 9:16 am) I had the Governor solenoid and Governor sensor replaced...I had the fluid and filter changed and the bands adjusted... It did not fix anything...$400 and the same problem... The tranny guy said I had the normal stuff in the pan for 80,000 miles and a little more than the average... Does anyone have any other ideas... My next one will be a manual tranny... Thanks, Cwise |

| Here's what I found to be the issue with my 96 dodge. The transmission would vary ~50-150 Rpms or so when cruising at road speeds. This was after a rebuild and had been giving me grief for quite some time not to mention more waisted money at the dealership. After searching through this site for ideas I checked the "transmission throttle valve cable" for proper adjustment. Well it was NOT adjusted as it should have been. I made the adjustment and the problem went away. I did purchase a new cable and return spring as the old cable seemed to be sticking a little and the spring because of age and loosing a little of its return tension. I think what was happening is that when I would let off the throttle a little the weak spring and the "not so smooth cable" wouldnt allow the TTV to move in sync with the throttle body butterfly. Just my observation, but all seems to be working again with NO variation in rpms when at road speed. The cost of the cable was about $75.00 and the spring was $3.50. Install time was less than a half hour including adjustments. | |

I need some big time help on this one. Ok like so many of the post before me when I drive my Dodge Ram 01 V6 Pick-Up, it will start doing some funny stuff. For example, when I first take-off i have to give it just the right amount of gas so it won't stall/ over-rev. Then I can fell that the transmission falls back down in to the lower gear and my tachometer is moving all about. It does this all the way to top gear and when I'm driving around 60-70 MPH it will periodically shift down and rev up to about 3.5 to 4 RPM for a second or so and then catch back on. So now this is new: When I opened my hood, from when I first discovered this problem, I saw that there was a light oil all over the engine compartment and I couldn't deduce where the source of the leak was. What is confusing me about this fluid is that the transmission fluid level is going down and i have to replace it at the rate of half a quart a week, and that the AC on the truck went out simultaneously as the tranny problems started happening. So to Lay it Down: -Transmission Slipping -Mystery Fluid in Engine Compartment -AC unit not working well, after transmission problems started -Need Help, I can change hoses and fluids, I'm a boiler maker, so i have a vague understanding of mechanics, I have tools, i just now very little about cars. Please help. |

Any suggestions would be very appreciated. Went to drive my truck to an interview last week and it wouldn't shift past 2nd, drove it two days prior and it was fine, sort of came out of nowhere. Took it to Aamco and they said it wasn't listing any codes but the tranny fluid smelled burnt... Give it to me straight...do I need to rebuild? It's got 110,000 miles on it, is it worth repairing?

| Ok so really the problem is that hose that connects to radiator. All I need to know is what that line is called, and im gonna replace both of them the send and return. So what are they called, because no one at gay auto zone knows. | |
