ok i got another prob on my 95 dakota. it is a v8. i feel like my transmission is slipping when i give full throttle and when the engine is cold i will put it into drive and it wont engage untill i give some gas. same thing with the reverse, i have to pump the gas a little bit to get it to engage.... and it holds the gear a little while before shifting... i does these symptoms randomally. the truck has 125k miles and the tranny was rebuilt before supposedly. any recommendations what i should start out trying, thanks

 

Try this chart. https://dodgeforum.com/forum/1st-gen...agnostics.html

 

what is the transmission filter called. ill go to advace to get that. but last time i was there they couldnt find it. thats what i thought the prolem could be

 

You have an a518 (or 46rh) transmission, and the filter is called a transmission oil filter. Keep in mind when your fluids are cold that the oil is more viscous, and does not flow as well as when at operating temp (around 190 F), so it takes longer to build pressure. I would recommend a transmission service that includes adjusting the 1st/R band, or do it yourself. It is also in the diagnostics manual.

 

Fram FT1039A should be what your looking for filter wise.

 

thanks. i couldnt find the specs for the band bolt, can someone give me the link for it. if its not that hard to set than ill try to set it

 

and i want to set the throttle valve cable but the links are dead in the FAQ forums page

 

oh and should i set the front band and the rear band while the tranny pan is off

 

It is in the sticky at the beginning of these threads.

Also in the same sticky.

Yes (they are the same band).

 

ok well i got that haynes book, it says to torque it to 72 than go 2 7/8 turns back. is that caculating that one turn is 360 degrees
