Re:6 speed gear clash

While I haven't noticed it gain rpm often when I shift, mine does exhibit a marked difference in how RPM drops depending on how high you wind it up. If I shift at lower RPM (from 1500 - 2200 or so), revs drop quickly. If I ever wind it up beyond 2500, rpm drops really slow for a few seconds when you push the clutch in.<br><br>I suppose since this is all controlled by ECM these days, there could be something wrong with the programming or a sensor. Could also be an issue with the governor.<br><br>I seem to remember others complaining of this with some of the first RAM HD's. Does it not act this way on all? I can't imaging being able to speed shift ever, at least nothing like any other previous manual trans I've ever had.<br><br>My list of manual cars I've owned is long but this is my first HD manual truck. I grew up learning to drive on farm tractors and have always bought manual trans for all of our vehicles when ever possible.<br><br>Kris<br>'67 SS Camaro convertible with Y2K LS1/6 speed<br>'01 VW Jetta TDI 5 speed<br>'03 Ram 2500 HO 6 speed
