Dave if you read my previous posts you will see that I have the same problem. After two rebuilds I finally talked then in to replacing the throttle position sensor (TPS). I got the truck back on 11/2 and so far so good. My problem is an intermittent one so the acid test will come when I leave CT for FL on 11/10. I will report on it's performance when/if I arrive in FL.

I recently found this wedge shaped piece of metal in my transmission pan. I took my truck to a shop to have the rear end looked at and had my transmission serviced. I was not happy with anything these guys but they did say that the transmission was fine. This was the first and last time I ever take my truck to a shop, I usually do everything myself. Anyway the 2nd gear issue everyone seems to have started up and so I service my trans only to find this weird piece of metal in the pan. At first I thought it was the end of some type of air chisel. My truck still runs but revs high from 1st to 2nd, if I get on it at all, and the same if the trans tries to downshift from 3rd to 2nd. Other they that the truck seems ok but there is no way I can tow anything or try to take off in a hurry. So where does this piece of metal go and how do I get it in there?

Thanks for the input. I suspected it was an electronic problem, the tranny shop was too eager to do a rebuild. I'll be looking forward to any new info.

recently bought a 1998 Dodge 2500 series diesel as is off car lot, 158879 miles runs well except when it starts goes in overdrive it usually just goes in and out rapidily causing about a 2-300 rpm change but it usually wont stay in at all, reading the other post maybe a tps or speed sensor . I have no history on this truck , tranny oil looks real clean any help appreciated thanks Tall
also think I may smell antifreeze from heater is this early for a heater coil?

I arrived in FL today 11/11 1,352miles and no erratic shifting in and out of overdrive. The TPS must have been the problem all along  I guess I it didn't need the rebuild. Expensive experiment and Dodge was no help at all. I'll report back on the return trip.

I have a 2003 ram 1500 4x4 with auto trans.
When I first start the truck when it is still cold and shift from p to d the transmission jumps. when the engine warms up the transmission is fine. I am not having any problems with slipping. I bought it with 61000 miles on it and don't know prev history...any thoughts

I'm no expert but have maintained all my own vehicles for nearly 30 years. When I'm in trouble I have a heavy equipt. repair shot across the street. Know this: Anytime there is loose metal in the pan of your transmission it's not "OK" as the shop mechanics said. I recently serviced my Ram 3500 OD trans. and found something similar to what you described. It was a tang on a retainer ring that holds to OD gearset in place. It was able to be replaced without removing or disassembling the transmission too far. Had to remove transfer case and transmission tailshaft to get to it. Get a second opinion.

When I reach 1500rpms the trans shifts in & out until I reach 1900rpms+. will stop when I take it out of overdrive. Any in sight is well comed.
Thanks!

overdrive will not work when the trans gets to a certain temp , may be getting hot or could be the temp sensor
