Well, As most of you know nothing but tranny problems for me. Well it shifts fine most of the time but under really light acceleration.

I mean like when in traffic and you tap the gas to go to 10 mph (20km/h) and Accelerate over 20 seconds. It does a sort of stutter like it can't make it's mind up. Does anyone have any idea's to what would cause this?

i had that problem. had the tranny rebuilt under warranty and now it's good to go.

 

It was just rebuilt...

EDIT: could and accelerator cable cause something like this if there was lots of slack?

 

are you experiencing the stutter between shifts 2-3?... sounds like gear hunting to me

 

I have had a truck with that problem also, it was used to tow alot an come to find out it was the torque converter.

 

From 1st to second, and second to 3rd. it shifts fine under heavier accelerlation. But Im just not sure about the tv cable anymore. I took it off the hook, Aligned it to the center of it put it back on. Simple right? Well Yea that stopped the stutter I believe but Than it shifts a lot higher most of the time. I get shifts usally at 5k rpm when redline is 4,500. Im not sure if a Shift kit would do the shift point higher or not but. I don't want to mess with the tv too much as it cause my band to fail once. Also it has a high stall torque converter.

i cant tell where my redline is. minetruck at wide open throttle will shift at about 550rpm. my tach is there and works but there is no red or yellow lines. i guess dodge jewed the newer 2nd gens in that part. hey has anybody had a problem with their tranny kicking down two gears? mine takes forever to kick down?

 

Might just need a tv cable adjustment which I find really hard to do properly without messing up. Try pulling it in 1 tick towards the firewall. And 2 if you need it. But yours is probably electronic.

 

ya it probably is. ill have to check that out on my lunch break.

 

Well I went and adjusted the tv cable fixed except for when the tranny is cold? Right out of the drive way it does it. My guess is that it might be not the fluid pressure needed as it may take a bit to get the fluids were and pressure? It still shifts a little late though. I get shifts at 4700-4800 rpm, Versus the redline which is 4,500.
