Question for the transmission Experts
My 04.5 had been in a roll over accident when I purchased it and when I got it to the shop and running the truck would hardly move on its own seemed like the trans was slipping (yes i filled it with fluid first) so I put it in low range and drove it in to the shop. Now I have the truck almost done and have excepted that I will have to have the trans rebuilt. However I am wondering if it could be something simple, the truck has 61,000, and although I had to put several quarts of ATF into it, it didn't smell burnt but was dirty. If one of the solenoids were plugged or had a wire off could it make the trans start in a higher gear or have a loss of line pressure enough to cause the problem.
Any thoughts or ideas would be appreciated, I have pulled it in and out of the shop and loaded/unloaded on a trailer a few times and it does ok in low range but haven't seen if it will up shift yet
Thanks in advance
Joe

Maybe you are just not waiting long enough for the converter to fill back up after sitting.
They can have a drain down problem and they slip terribly after sitting for a few days.
Put it in gear and let it idle for 30 seconds or so and see if it pulls like it should.

I had 97 dodge tranny serviced and after getting home I noticed fluid pouring from pan--I tighten but most of fluid escaped anyway in 20 miles--what can I expect--damage,no damage, shoot the tech bastard?
Thanks folks
