I have the following problem:
in line at drive thru, put in park, then moved on in drive, put pack in park, tried to move into drive, nothing, except car now goes backwards, tried to put it in any other gear, no luck, still going backwards. After a while of flipping thru gears and nothing except going backwards, I turned the engine off and two guys helped push car out of drive thru. the gear is in rear, the shift part on the steering wheel is movable in every gear and shows then which one, but it won't shift, instead it stays in rear.
Now, since truck is in reverse stuck, it won't start because it's not in park or neutral. I didn't have any problems before like :confuse: the tranny shifting not smoothly. Could it be the gearshifter in the steering wheel or tranny? any other ideas? What am I looking at spending approximatley?

Dusty

When you submit a question to the forum it is helpful if you give us the year, engine, 2-wheel drive or 4-wheel drive, mileage, and other pertinent equipment. In this case we specifically need to know the engine and mileage.

I own a 1999 dodge ram quad cab 4x4 diesel with a automatic transmission with 83,000 miles which I own it since it had 56,000 miles. My problems started a few days ago after driving home from work,the truck seem like it was starting out of second gear so I drove it for about 5miles until I got home and parked it. I got up next am to go to work and the truck would not engage out of first gear top speed I could reach was about 25miles at 2200 RPM, had no choice but to get to work so when I arrive I parked it for 8hrs.So at the end of the day when I was driving home I had the same issue for the first 3 miles of my drive home then all of a sudden the truck was shifting and driving normally. So this am the truck is still driving and shifty normally. Do I need to change the fluid and if I change the fluid at 83,000 mile is there a chance the main transmission seal will leak??? Can some one please help me. Is this something I can handle.
Thank you,
Stanton
Anyone have this occur?
Thanks, Snowbandit
Also while just driving around, the trans seems to not like to shift out of 3rd gear or maybe just spending too long in third gear. The truck just does not seem to want to accelerate very fast until it reaches 4th. after it hits overdrive hang on, because she runs great.
A little history on this truck/trans 137000 miles and am on the third trans. First was installed by Dodge, under warranty, at about 50,000. the second was installed at about 80,000 miles and now I am thinking this one is on its way out. Any help would be appreciated.

After warming the truck up for 15-20 minutes, the truck feels like the tranny is slipping as I drive away. After drive about a block or two that stops. The probem started with that. Thought fluid was low, but was clean and full. Now the trans doesn't want to shift out of second, unless I let off the throttle, and put the truck in neutral. When I put it back in drive it shifts fine until I stop and start, then I have to repeat the process. No check engine, or check transmision lights.
Please Help!
I have a 95 Dodge 1500 truck. It has a 5.2 engine. I just bought it and have a trans problem.
1st: it will not go back into 1st gear when I stop sometimes. If I drop it in low gear and back to drive it will take off ok. If not it will start off in second gear.
2nd: It lost overdrive today. Light on the od switch comes on but it will not shift.
If anyone has had this problem and knows of a fix please let me know..
thanks Randy
i would appreciate any suggestions.
1. First issue is when I make LEFT hand turns (ONLY LEFT) my tranny pops out of gear and engine tak's out. I have to let off the gas and straighten out for it to get back in.
2. During moderate to heavy rains no matter which direction my travel, my tranny does the exact same thing...no matter how fast i am going.
I don't have any broken engine or tranny mounts. Fluids are ok.
HELP~ any suggestions???
It dosen't mean there is anything wrong with the transmission. He says the 48RE are heavy duty transmissions and they will not slip like a gas truck transmission and will give you the impression they are shifting hard.
Thanks for your comments.
Replaced clutch, pressure plate and bearings now the clutch pedal seems to be one third of the effort to press in. I am attempting to force Dodge to admit a defective pressure plate but as everyone knows I am fighting a brick wall! Any help or ideas will be a major asset in my battle!

Thanks for great forum
I am 2800 miles from home and any help would be great, thanks
On a side note, the trans. was just serviced last month, flushed and bands adjusted.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
A few months ago noticed that intermittenly, taking off from a stop, not shifted down into low gear. Changed fluid and filter when it become more common problem. That seamed to solve it for about a month then it began happening again. Now most of the time.
Truck runs great if manually shifted from low. Fluid is still clean and no other problems with transmission (no slipping) or motor. Took to shop for code read and no motor or transmission codes. They suggested two possibilities: 1 electronics need replaced and 2 the catalytic converter might be stopped up (two different guys suggested this). Before I get going on something, has anyone had this problem and/or suggestion/experience on fixing it?
Thanks!
Check to see if you have any trouble codes: with the engine off, cycle the ignition key like this On (not Start)-Off-On-Off-On - then watch your odometer for codes. I'm guessing a sensor is out of whack.

The owner said it it will not go into 4X4 mode, read up on the actuator so will be checking that today also. Is it possible that no reverse and no 4X4 are both a bad vacuum problem and related?
It also has a check engine light on so I will get that code read out today too. Idle is a little rough but smooth power under acceleration.
Sorry for all the question, Thanks for any help!
