i have a 1999 dodge diesel auto. the tranny is getting real weird and i am affraid to drive it much more.... here are the symptoms


when starting to move forward with a little bit on the pedal, it hops from 1000-1500 rpm like it is trying to shift back and forth back and forth, and it will keep doing it unless i give it a lot more gas. if i give it more pedal to start, it doesnt happen.....

it is also shifting hard, real hard. and when i go from reverse to drive it grabs real hard, instead of smoothly going into gear..

lastly, when i put it into any position on the indicator, i have to play with the shifter to make sure it is even in the gear it is supposed to be in, or it might slip between gears..

someone please help me asap. . .. thank you

How is the trans fluid level?
Does it smell burnt?

 

fluid is fine, and doesnt smell burnt. and has great color to it

 

Sounds kind of like a governor pressure or accumulator problem.

Call up Dave Goerend. www.gbtransmissions.com He'll help you troubleshoot the tranny, and won't try and shove a new tranny down your throat or try and sell you something he doesn't honestly believe you may need.

 

it could just be a linkage problem
