Delayed Shift from 2nd>3rd
Hello all! I just bought a 1998 Durango with a 5.2 L and 44RE trans. Every shift is good except 2nd to 3rd. If I let my foot off the gas a bit at 2000 RPM I can make it shift, if I don't it seems to rev up to 3K and then shift. Reverse is good, tranny fluid is red and full (not overfull) and 1-2 and 3-4 shifts are fine.
I'm hoping this is not the first sign of my tranny failing, I'm hoping there is some kind of adjustment that can be done. Any ideas? Thanks!

I haven't taken mine to the trans shop yet, maybe with my next paycheck. One thing since I posted though is new. When the truck is cold (like after sitting overnight) the trans disengages at around 2000 RPM in second gear. I let off the gas and it re-engages at around 1500 RPM, eventually shifting into 3rd. After a few minutes it works as before (delayed shift from 2-3) and doesn't disengage the rest of the day. Weird.

I did the sensors and filter and gasket and it took about 6 quarts to refill and it shifts awesome now and has more torque/power : ) well worth it just wish I knew how to do a shift kit I would've done that while I was in there but ill learn it someday transmission stuff is the only thing I don't know how to play with
