91 ram the tranny seems to shift stright from 1 to 2 too quick...

 

Light throttle 2-3 OK? Full throttle 1-2-3 shifts OK? Weak spring in govener most likely. Weak spring in valve body,or worn valvecan cause it too. You can chk kickdown. Should be all the way back at WOT.

 

2-3 ok its like it jumps in and than out of gear very fast then its ok, simlier to a slip...

 

Not much to do with it in the truck other than chk the kickdown linkage and adjust the bands. Pull the pan and look around,see if there's any clutch mat'l etc. If the kickdown's OK and the pan's reasonably clean, I'd just stick another trans in it,or have it rebuilt. Without driving the truck myself,educated guesses are the best I can do. Since reverse is OK, the low/reverse band is holding,you'd still have first,just no engine braking in manual low,no reverse.
What's it do when low is manually selected?

 

well i got it fixed ... i found that the kickdown linkage was off of the carb... fixed it and it shifts right...

 

Cool. The skip was 2-3. The kick down is actually a pressure regulator. It'll smoke the trans without it. Still having trouble with it dying?

 

well i cleaned the big connector that goes on the computer, and all the grounds i saw, their where two wires that came from the battery term.that where about to come from their lugs that somone repaired ... i fix them, so far it working well and not duying...

 

Glad to hear it. What are your plans for the truck?

 

well sence its clean and srtaight, i think i will but some miles on it,too bad its not the best thing on gas ...

 

Yeah, at 3 bucks someodd even a moped ain't cheap trans. Been thinkin' about puttin' mine on propane $2.11 last time I checked.
