Tranny actin goofy

[dirtbike375]

I have an 06 3500 with an automatic trans, I just changed the trans fluid and put a fresh filter in it. I have 32K miles and the truck has never towed anything heavy. When I am driving and not hard on the gas, it feels like the trans bounces between first and second gear a couple of times before shifting into second. If I am hard on the gas it doesn't do. Any help would be appriciated, and any other trans info would be nice as i have heard of the nightmares about dodge transmissions.

[hoffscummins]

did it do it before you change the filter and fluid

Is this something i can take to dodge and tell them what its doin and they can fix it or do they just say nothings wrong?

[jonathanrayce]

Yes you can just take it to a dealer and you need to just tell them you want that particular TSB done because your tranny is hunting for 2nd in low rpms.

I don't know if your truck has adjustable bands or not. When I service the trans in my brother-in-laws '03 I always adjust the bands too. He says he can feel the difference in shift quality and firmness instantly.

[Ramtech]

guarantee the TSB will take care of the problem. Have fixed numerous trucks with problem.

[tomcat1965]

I have a 2500 diesel that when it gets up to temp the trans will not want to shift into 2nd until you hit 2500 rpms or so and ony when you are going in a 25 mile per hour or so and the same for 3rd gear also , have 40,000 on it trans oil changed at about 38,000 and did it before also, any ideas

[Akummins]

I had the same prob with my 03. I took it in after I smoked the stock tranny an had new VB, TQ, OP-shaft, an my truck still does it. It has to do with a TPS prob with all CR an newer. If you search there are more post that state the same thing. .

Just had the TSB repair done to my 05 and had the bands adjusted too. Fixed the shift hunt and firmed up the shifts as well.
