#200 of 1274 Re: trans problem i think [rebelram87] by dunkler_engel Aug 01, 2007 (2:40 pm)
Replying to: rebelram87 (Jul 21, 2007 11:06 am) I have had the same problems, However I had just had the transmission rebuilt 5 months prior, I put at least 500 miles on my truck every weekend driving home so I put about 10-14 thousand on it before it went out. I was driving along doing 70 and it just wouldn't shift into 4th gear from 3rd, put it in nuetral and then back into drive and it didn't move at all. I took it back to the shop they rebuilt it at and made an adjustment to it and I got it back 2 days later it did the same thing you were talking about as far as slipping. I could drive it about 50 feet and then it would "slip" out of gear and wouldn't go. They said the Torque convertor was bad on it and caused the transmission pump to go, I paid them because I needed my truck to get back to post. Now its doing the same thing as you are talking about. The lacking power could be possible you need to tune the valves on the engine, your supposed to do it every 10 thousand miles. I don't always have the time to do it though, and I don't think its ever been done and I have 304K on the engine. Its also a 95 dodge 2500 cummings. If I myself find out anything else on it I will let you know. I tried calling my tranmission shop back and their number is no logner in service so I might have to rip it out myself and take it apart to fix whatever is wrong with it..... Headache....
#201 of 1274 2000 Dodge Transmission Problem by jenn2517 Aug 12, 2007 (9:05 am)
I have an automatic 2000 Dodge Ram. When it comes out of first gear and going into second it will rev up to 4 or 5000 rpms and then the rpms will slowly go back to where they should be to shift gears. It does this no matter what gear it is shifting too. Am I better off to replace the entire transmission and torque converter? Any thoughts?

#203 of 1274 Down Shift Issues by ak_wolffe Aug 12, 2007 (4:50 pm)
I have an 04 1500 5.7l with 36K on it. I had the 30k service done and after noticed the trans does not downshift like it used to. Dealer checked it out and says everything is fine. It works if I'm cruising at say 60(realy any highway speed) it takes a long push on the pedal to get it to kick down from OD with little pickup then another long push to get it to kick down another gear. When it does kick down it realy launches. The dealer also suggested it might be the large tires but they are only 275 70R 17. Like I said it works but feels like my shift points were reprogrammed or someting. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
#204 of 1274 Dodge tranny problems by jeff83 Aug 12, 2007 (5:19 am)
I am a huge Dodge truck lover and in my 97 4x4 I was having problems with the engine light coming on and the book said it was the tranny.(The truck has 150k on it)Before I could get it to a shop...I was cruising along and all of a sudden, the I lost every gear, I shut it off, start it up and go 50 yards, and nothing again. Of course Aamco told me $3,000 but they are #%^&*'s, so I thought it odd I'd lose all gears instead of one or two..I am NO mechanic by the way. It's a 1500 Replies to this message: jeff83 (Aug 12, 2007 5:23 am) dustyk (Aug 15, 2007 5:26 pm)
#205 of 1274 Dodge tranny problems by jeff83 Aug 12, 2007 (5:23 am)
Replying to: jeff83 (Aug 12, 2007 5:19 am) My 97 1500 4wd lost every gear. I pulled over and restarted it and it would go 50 feet and do it again. Aamco of course said I needed a new tranny but it was outrageous. I was told it was very odd that all gears went out and that it could be something else. There was no grinding, nothing, just no gear, not even reverse. Any suggestions? Replies to this message: dustyk (Aug 15, 2007 5:26 pm)

Replying to: jeff83 (Aug 12, 2007 5:23 am) Could be a clogged drain back valve or a clogged filter.   How's the fluid look?   Regards, Dusty
#207 of 1274 01 DODGE 2500 DIESEL TRANNY PROBLEM by bobby918 Aug 18, 2007 (4:59 pm)
Last week I was climbing a rather steep hill while pulling a load of about 3000lbs and it seemed like the truck was really struggling to pull. It was in drive with OD off. After I got to the stop sign (level surface) at the top of the hill it seemed as if I had to push the gas pedal almost all the way down in order to move. After I got going it shifted well with no slippage however, everytime I stop now and go to start I have to push the pedal really far to get going (load or not) unless I manually shift it into 1st then it moves like it used to. Please send some advice.   Thanks, Bobby918
#208 of 1274 Torque converter temps by dodge5ther Aug 20, 2007 (4:01 am)
1998 2500 12v 4X4 only mods is a 4" exhaust,K&N air filter. The trans was over hauled by AAMCO but they couldn't get the temps down, but were very happy overhauling my trans.(Shift kit, single plate TC). I pull a 5th wheel. CGVW of both 20k. I installed a trans gauge on the line comimg out of the trans heading up to block cooler. When pulling a hill temps go to 250F in 3rd gear. In 4th above 1700rpm temps are 160-190F. The only thing I have found is the trans will not go into 3rd or 4th if temps go over 260F, but it didn't say were they got the temp readings. Does any one know what the reading should be? What is the best thing I could do to drop the temp down when pulling (larger pan, Trans cooler and fan, or extra duty TC)? Replies to this message: dustyk (Aug 21, 2007 6:21 pm)

Replying to: dodge5ther (Aug 20, 2007 4:01 am) Your 46RE is designed not to make the 3-4 shift if the ATF temperature is above 240 degrees F measured at the internal temperature sensor.   If this with the maximum load the temperature of 160-190F is actually very good at 1700 RPM.   Now the 20,000 CGVW seems above a '98 3/4 ton chassis limit and could explain the high temperatures on hills.   Does the engine temperature also climb? If it does the radiator might not be flowing well (partially clogged) or the radiator might not be expelling heat fast enough under load from lose or corroded cooling fins. It could be that the coolant temperature is overheating the ATF.   As far as the tranny goes, over tightened bands can cause this on the Mopar "RE" series, among other things.   Lastly, I hope AAMCO used ATF+4 or at least ATF+3. Dexron-Mercon or Dexron-Mercon with a friction modifier additive will cause Mopar trannys to run considerably hotter. A lot of transmissions shops will use Dexron with an additive because its a lot cheaper than ATF+3 or 4. But it won't work right.   Regards, Dusty
