I have a 2002 1500 and it's real sluggish in reverse. I push the gas and it revs and slowly backs up but slips as it goes. I have no problems in drive. Fluid level is fine. I'm afraid to have it looked at, don't need headache. p2369 |

| 19K miles, 4.7L motor 4x4. Vehicle purchased used, no prior history found. When descending hill (cruise on), rpms' spike to 3800-4000 from 2000 and acts like a jake brake on a diesel. Any thoughts? (4 trips to dealer, no trouble found.) | |
Got an '06 2500 d-sel 4x4. With 88K on the odom we are having tons of transmission problems. (Bought October of 07)Local dealer replaced 1st unit due to slipping & said clutches were fused. 2nd unit started slipping after about 20K miles on it. Seems to me it may be a heat issue as it doesn't slip nearly as much when transmission is cold. We haul campers 3x times a week ranging in weight 4,000 - 12,000 lbs each thru West Virginia mountains. Dealer isn't sure what to do next. They want to replace valve body. Anybody out there had similar problems? Can't get much info from Chrysler about any transmission problems/service notices. HELP

I have a '95 Dodge 2500 w/ Cummins and 196k on the odometer.At 160,000 my tranny started to shift/fluctuate 200-300 rpms at highway speed55-75mph.This is an intermittent problem I have no symptom or warning when it is going to happen I took it to the Dodge dealer and they replaced it with a reman ($2500.00). The warranty was 3yrs/36,000 for the reman. Well at 35,400 and 4 years and 196k the same condition returned. I took it to a highly recommended tranny shop and they rebuilt it ($2400.00). I left for Florida, not towing,got two hundred miles away from home and the same situation occurred.Turned around took it back they went through it checking soleniods etc.I took it back, drove around for a week, planned to leave for FL (1280miles)on Sunday 10/21 when lo and behold on 10/19 I am traveling down the Interstate and the same conditon occurs! It shifts and runs well in all gears but at highway speeds it seem to slip in and out of overdrive. I'm so disgusted right now that I'm thinking of going to FL anyway. I will be towing 8k on the way back. I'm thinking throttle position sensor. Am I correct?

Replying to: dustyk (Aug 23, 2007 5:57 pm) Well I finally got around to changing the governor pressure solenoid and governor pressure sensor. Works like a charm now. YAY! If I had to point the finger at one component I would blame it on the bracket thats holds the sensor in place. The senor was VERY loose because the bracket wasn't holding it tightly in place. When I replaced the sensor the new one was loose also. I slightly bent the tabs in and now the sensor doesn't move. Thanks, Wolfer |

I have a 1999 Ram 1500 with a 360, automatic transmission and the tow package. The truck has 125,000 miles on it with the original tranny. Here is my problem. About two weeks ago I got a check engine light. This was followed by a very slight transmission slippage. Sometimes it was from a dead stop, but if I babied the throttle it would take right off. A good friend of mine recommended that I disconnect the battery to clear the engine light. He felt the light was most likely an O2 sensor. This worked for about a day and the light came back. Two days ago the truck would start out fine in 1st gear, but would struggle with shifting into 2nd gear. The shift would occur around 3000 rpm with it then shifting through all the gears. No problem with reverse. The problem seemed to be worse on colder days. Today, though, it will not shift into 2nd gear at all no matter how high the rpm's. When I hit 25-30mph and let up of off the throttle I can feel it shift all the way into high gear. When I step back on the gas it is slipping as if the gear is to high for the vehicle speed. If I let it coast, it downshifts very smoothly through all the gears. Once it is in 1st gear it takes right off again, but still will not shift into 2nd gear. I flushed and changed fluid and filter. The pan was void of any metal and the pan magnet had a slight amount of sludge on it. This, unfortunately, did not fix the problem. I am going to take it to a parts store and have them run a diagnostic on it. Is there a specific analyzer they must use for this year and model? I am not convinced this is a mechanical problem with the transmission, but an electrical control problem. What types of things should I be looking at? From reading through this thread I feel my problem may be as simple as a throttle position sensor. Please Help. I'm desperate. I fear that a tranmission mechanic will recommend replacing the transmission as "cover-all" solution to this problem. Any help is greatly appreciated.
