I have a 97 ram ½ ton 4x4 with a 360. My transmission howls in reverse and the truck will stall after backing up and switching to drive. While driving if i come to a stop and go to take off, it revs up like its in neutral for a second or two, and then hits and starts moving. Also while driving it shifts in and out of overdrive but only maybe once or twice a week. Could it be a bad solenoid, valve body, or need a rebuild? Would a B&M shift kit help it? Has anyone experienced this? Any and all suggestions are much appreciated.
Out of adjustment. Needs a filter and fluid swap and adjusted. Damage is already done but adjusting it should get you by for a while longer.
That sucks lol. Thanks for the input how do I adjust it? I know where I need to adjust it, I just don't know how.
Loosen the jam nut and run in the adjuster rod till its tight. Back it off about 3/4-1 turn and lock down the jam nut.
Not trying to steal post.
Just curious as to what the adjuster is and what it's doing?
Is it a band adjustment?
Rocker arm type adjustment that some how set's the pressure on the clutches. Not exactly sure how it works but i know i adjusted a couple of them and one miraculously got reverse back and the other started shifting better and gained a couple MPG.
I'll giver a shot. I'm wondering if I might have a bad control module or the whole computer. I noticed today while the tranny was acting up, that it won't steady idle. It it bounces from around 400-1000 rpms and sometimes die. It is also running real rough when i first start it when its cold.And just now checked and I think my check engine light is disconnected. I'm going to go get it scanned. Thanks for the help
Nope.....just an o2 sensor. I'll adjust the bands and see if it helps. Thanks guys
