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

Overdrive Gone by rywas88

HELP!!!! I have a 95 1500 and i need some desperate advice/help. Last winter the torque converter started to act up but was drivable just didnt go over 70 mph. couple of weeks ago everything went wrong. Has no power coming off of a dead stop, and when you get up to 30 and try and go into overdrive the engine will rev up to 3500 but the truck doesnt have ANY boost in power. truck barely goes 15 mph and has trouble getting around the block. i heard the prob could be a sensor under the pan. ????? Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
 
p.s the engine runs started to run like crap. it literally melted an egr valve in two weeks. poss. clogged cat converter or vacuum leak????

I'm happy to hear you made it to FL and also happy to hear your transmission problems have been resolved. TPS replacement is next on my list of things to try....Speed sensor has already been replaced. My transmission isn't shifting from 2nd to 3rd once the tranny has warmed up unless I rev the RPM's up and quickly let off the gas.
