| The automatic transmission in my 2001 Ram started shifting from 1st to 2nd late. It just started a couple of days ago with no other indication of trouble. If I accelerate very slowly, it shifts okay. If I accelerate normally, it shifts at 3000 – 3500 RPM. After shifting to second, it drives normally until I stop. I can force it to shift by taking my foot off of the accelerator for a second and waiting for it to shift, but then it may downshift seconds later. | |

| 1999 Dodge 1500 5.2l 4x4 Transmission works fine when it is cold. Drives fine while warm, but once I stop anywhere, get back in, it will not engage ANY Drive Gears. 1, 2, or 3 WILL NOT Engage. REVERSE works perfect. I have to wait till it is fully cooled down before it will engage drive again. Just changed the Filter and Fluids, was very dirty, planning on driving for a week, then doing a Full Flush and Filter/Fluid change again. I really thought the dirty Filter would fix it enough to at least drive it for a week or so and repeat. Any help is VERY MUCH APPRECIATED!! I'm getting frustrated and not sure what could be the issue? | |
I have a 2000 2500 ram with a 5.9l cummins, had the tranny replaced 3 years ago, recently the trans temp light comes on for a second or two then goes out, also the od off illuminates which kicks down to 3rd . The fluid level is good and the fluid is pink and doesn`t smell burnt at all. The lights will come on when idling in the driveway, I`m thinking that the temp sensor is faulty, any tips how to check this or how to change it out. I dont have a trans temp gauge but thought I could tape my wireless barbeque temperature gauge to the tranny just to confirm that high temp is not a factor. Thanks for any ideas.

Hi Guys, New Here. When driving my truck, from second on, the tranny wont shift propperly unless I let the Gas Go a Bit. Once in O/D I have no problems. The tranny doesnt slip at all. 82K, oil and filter changes recently. Check valve at the cooler also checked and it doesnt seem to be cloged. Thanks in advance, Rafael |

here are the facts: i bought this truck from someone who hadnt driven it for 2 weeks. it has 165K miles and i dont know about any possible rebuilds or factory reman trannys for this truck. it shifted perfect when i got it. ive had it for 2 weeks. it started hanging up in 1st gear after the 3rd time i drove it. it gets stuck in 1st for 30 seconds to 2 minutes each time and then shifts good. if i stop but leave it running, it will still shift fine. if i turn it off, it still tries to hang up for a bit when i start it back up and go, even when warmed up. i havent pinpointed any exact thing i did to get it to start shifting. sometimes i just drive it for a few seconds at 4 or 5k rpm and then move the shifter to 2nd and then back to drive and it starts shifting right. the fluid is dark, and dirty so i know its old and burnt. but i havent done anything yet, i wanted to see who had something here to say. thanks for any input.
