#271 of 1274 Re: Dodge Ram Auto Trans Overdrive Slipping? [joemc1] by joemc1 Nov 11, 2007 (5:46 pm)
Replying to: joemc1 (Nov 06, 2007 4:42 am) 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.

#272 of 1274 transmission hard shift from p to d when cold by indyff Nov 11, 2007 (6:37 pm)
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
#273 of 1274 Re: Wedge-shaped piece of metal in the transmission fluid pan [monsterpots] by dillondawg Nov 11, 2007 (10:23 pm)
Replying to: monsterpots (Nov 06, 2007 12:24 pm) 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 the truck warms up the transmission temp light comes on and the over drive does not work Replies to this message: tallman4 (Nov 13, 2007 5:36 pm)

Replying to: bigh1234 (Nov 13, 2007 1:30 pm) overdrive will not work when the trans gets to a certain temp , may be getting hot or could be the temp sensor
#277 of 1274 Overdrive Gone by rywas88 Nov 13, 2007 (10:14 pm)
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????

Replying to: joemc1 (Nov 11, 2007 5:46 pm) 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. Replies to this message: joemc1 (Nov 14, 2007 3:30 pm)

Replying to: rambo57 (Nov 14, 2007 5:59 am) Hey Rambo, my friend had the same symptoms as you and he had the bell crank sensor replaced and all is well. Hope this helps.
#280 of 1274 06 1500 5.7 Hemi Trany or Brake Shutter in Reverse?? by lukester1 Nov 16, 2007 (5:49 pm)
I have this model in 4X4 with the auto and tow package. I bought it new. It has 25k with the 36k warranty. It's a phantom problem as it has only occurred 5 times.   Problem: When it occurs, and only in reverse, it feels like a shutter - like I'm driving over a bunch of little speed bumps. Just returned from dealer and they said they could not reproduce concern. Ran diagnostics with no problems found.   It has done it to me cold and hot, when backing straight and backing while turning. It has only occurred in 2 wheel drive as it has seen very little 4X4 time.   I think it's a 45RFE trany. I thought it might be a servo not pulling in the reverse band but was told it doesn't have bands or drums like older trannies? Could it be an Anti-lock Brake problem?   Truck runs and shifts well otherwise. What should I tell my dealer? How can I help them find the problem?   Any help please.....Trying to fix under warranty or cover myself for after. Replies to this message: kcram (Nov 17, 2007 2:18 pm)
