I would also suggest looking at the FSM and checking the OD switch.

 

I have a 1997 dodge ram1500 4x4ithend in to the shop to get fixed. When I went to go pick up my truck. The guy told me. That I have to drive it in overdri and he said that driveing it like that it wi shift in to 3rd. Well now it won't shift at all in 3rd. Now even with overdrive on. It goes in 3rd a few times but not now.I don't know what to look at. Will some please help me

 

Take it back to the shop that rebuilt it, and have them fix it. If you open it up, you may void any warranty they offer. Give 'em a call, let 'em know what's up.

 

+1 on what HeyYou said. Take it back, reamin firm. You paid to have it fixed, not to change problems.

This sounds fishy. It has to go THROUGH 3rd to get to OD. You can turn ofgf OD and drive around all day and it should shift 1 - 2 - 3 just fine. OD is really for highway driving - it is 4th gear.

 

I Would but it's a mans house. His bissnes is at his house. And he could t get it right from the start anyways

 

Still and all, you paid him for a rebuild. You got back a trans with problems. He needs to fix it. If he tells you he is too busy, point out that you already paid him, and you would appreciate it if he would actually fix it. If he still wants to blow you off, stop payment on whatever method of payment you used. (if you can.) Until he makes it right.

 

my truck runs great now that i have a new trans but it doesnt shift smoothly into 3rd you get it around 45 mph and it will shift up and shifts down into 2nd a few seconds later.

 

Sounds like you need to take it back to the guy who replaced it too.... could just be the tv cable , could be something else...what you you mean "NEW" transmission? rebuilt? one from the junkyard?....

 

idk but when i first got the tranny i had some electrical problems that made it take off slow and not shift into 4th and 5th so i got my uncle to fix it but now i have that shifting problem

 

sorry bud sounds like it still aint fixed right.... I dont know where you got new transmission from that? he might have just changed the governor presser solenoid and called it a day...theres a lot of things that can wear out or need adjustment.
