Computer Problems?
I have a 06 dodge ram v8 4.7...The issues that im having with the car is that first when starting up the car every gear light(P R N D 2 3) lights up. when putting the car in reverse or drive it give a hard jerk either forwards or backwards... When I put it in drive it takes a couple seconds for the car to actually start to move and when flooring it it does not pick up speed.. When I finally pick up speed sometimes it stays in first gear(or it feels like it).. The rpm gauge goes in between 3 and 4 and never shifts back down.. When the truck actually shifts when it down shifts the car jerks.. then finally I the check engine light came on. I took the car to auto zone and when they did a diagnostic it said I had transmission problems... I then took the vehicle to a transmission shop and had them diagnose it and they said it gave them every code that it could give pertaining to the transmission, which led them to think that I had a bad computer.. they told me they could find out for sure if I paid another 200.00 for them to research further, but since they made the mistake on letting me know most likely what it was I want to research further b4 I hand over that cash that can go to a new tcm if needed... Ive reset the computer multiple times and it fixes the problem for a day or so, but then it starts acting up again...

Welcome to DF. I will move you to the right section.

I would not go to that transmission shop again. There should be no charge for research/diagnostics unless they have to tear it apart, and $200 is a lot for what might just be dropping the pan and looking, for all we know.
Find some place that will not charge you anything unless they find the problem. I have a local Meineke shop that is like that, for example. I can't speak for all of their places, I'm sure some aren't worth anything, but I think I found a good one.
