2002 Dodge Dakota 4.7 Sport Auto transmission won't engage
2002 Dodge Dakota 4.7 Automatic Transmission - Was having a "Slipping"
problem - (1)when I first start it, you would have to "rev" engine to get tranny
to engage, sometimes it would engage but would seem like the brake was
on. (2) Sometimes while driving down the highway the engine would
"randomly" rev up with no change in speed or throttle position. So... better
change fluid and filters (160,00 miles - never been done). So I do this and it
doesn't change the performance of vehicle. Change Throttle Position Sensor
- no change... Decide to change fluid with different (recommended) type and
add some Lucas (slip fix fluid) and now the transmission doesn't seem to
engage at all... its still in the garage and will not move. You can here a few
clicks when shifting out of Park - but no power to the wheels.... Any
suggestions? Tests I can perform? Is there a way to measure hydraulic
pressure?

Long Answer Short: Make sure the "Nozzle" is sealed. - Engineer better filter assy.
