I have a 1997 Ram 1500 that starts and drives fine but after 10 minutes goes to neutral. If I stop the car shut it of and restart I can drive a few miles. The in goes to neutral again. I stop and restart again and all is fine again. I drove 30 miles today and just made it home. Any Ideas. I just bought it a week ago.

so heres the deal, and i'm hoping someone out there has a real simple fix. i have a 01 ram 2500 diesel with 140,000 on it. and probly with in the past week it has not wanted to shift from first to second gear unless i really rev the engine. then it shifts fine for the rest. once warmed up it refuses to shift down to first at all when copletely stoped unless i manually put it there. its a 47re trans i believe. and keep in mind that i've never had to change or add any fluid to it. i've checked it everytime i changed the oil and it was always full and nice and clean. also, just for the heck of it i did change the fluid and filter and still its no better. any ideas would be greatly appreciated. oh, and just so you know, i'm no tranny guy, so when it comes to line pressures and that kinda stuff, i have no clue.

Replying to: tubugs (Sep 05, 2007 6:11 pm) *Low fluid level *Partially clogged transmission filter. *Partially clogged or defective Drain Back Valve (check cooling lines for sludge build up). * Gear shift cable loose, binding or misadjusted (check operation in first gear selection. If no problem this is a likely cause). *Burnt or badly worn rear clutch. *Valve body malfunction: sticking valves, worn bores, excessively dirty. Bad electrical connections to Shift Solenoids. *Worn or damaged Input Shaft Seal Rings *Broken Overrunning Clutch. *Broken Front Planetary Gearset Best regards, Dusty

Replying to: dustyk (Sep 06, 2007 4:36 am) Where is the brain back valve. It does have a cooler in front of the radiator. Thanks for the help. I know Ford transmission but do not know anything on the Dodge's Shane |

| My transmission shifts without any problem when cold and when it's cool outside. However, after driving for 15 minutes in hot temperatures, it seems to have trouble shifting from 3rd to 4th. I sometimes actually have to let off of the throttle to get it to shift. On cooler days, I've driven for an hour without any problem. It seems to be temperature related. Any ideas? | |
