Angry slipping transmission

so today i was getting ready to go to school started my truck put it in drive hit the gas a little bit truck moved very very slow so put it in neutral waited a couple of secs and put it back in drive and it was fine got in the truck after school it did the same thing so put it in neutral and waited again and it was fine so get home check fluid it is fine i smelled the fluid it smelled very bad so had my dad smell it he said that the fluid smelled burnt.. he said to drop the pan and change the fluid and filter but i was looking on youtube and i want to know how to "flush" the fluid and would i be able to do it. and it is a 93 ram w150 with overdrive tranny and 14 bolt oil pan

thanks,
cam

i am pretty sure you do not want to flush your transmission. hopefully the new fluid will help it along but you may want to start saving your money to replace it or rebuild it. the 46RH's are know for to be somewhat weak. the 93 ram charger i bought only has 212,000km on it and it has already had the trans rebuilt. you may from now on want to start your with the truck in neutral and not let it idle in park. the 46RH's do not pump fluid in park which is what causes them to fail prematurely. there is shift kits to fix these problems but yours may almost be a bit too far gone to save.

i can get a tranny out of a 2wd d100 i dont think it has overdrive and it has 3**** miles on it. and would my transfer case bolt on to it because if it would then i can get it really cheap and im going to buy the motor too because i might as well put the motor in mine too and just switch the fuel injection system from my motor onto the one from the d100 and have a pretty much brand new motor and transmission

i don't know if something out of a d100 would work. i know a d100 should have a la engine which is very different than the magnum engine that your truck should have.

91 was the last year for the 318 la and 92 was the first yer the 318 magnum was used. the transmission might be usable but i am not sure. i would guess since if it was in a d100 and it has overdrive that it might have a 500 trans and i would guess your 93 has the 518 trans.

if it's not the exact same transmission there would be a lot of work that needs to be done to make it work.
