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

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.

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.

06 1500 5.7 Hemi Trany or Brake Shutter in Reverse?? by lukester1

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.

Dodge 2500 tranny by snpanderson

I own a 95 2500 Dodge 4x4 diesel AT. The more I read everyones entries the more worried I become. 139K with 10K prof. rebuilt tranny. Feels like it is slipping in low gears, passes the rpm shift point so you have to back the fuel back down to catch a gear and finally in the morning when the truck is cold I back out of my parking spot and try to shift into any forward gear and the truck acts like it is in neutral ( if I let it sit for awhile and start it again-all of the sudden I shift it and it works fine). My warranty expired because of time elapsed. Local mechanics are willing to tear it apart for a price but nothing is ever solved.

This may not be your transmission at all, but instead your rear diff. Check that the fluid in the diff is the correct type and amount. If you have a limited slip, this will magnify the problem.
