97 Dakota Auto Transmission Problem
My sons friend has recently purchased a 97 Dakota 4X4 with a 3.9L Automatic. Here is the problem. When it is shifted into reverse it will either not move but sound as if the tranny is stuck in two gears forward and reverse or it will move forward. The transmission fluid was really low it has been filled up. Also forward gears work fine. Any help would be appreciated.

first try dropping the pan and change the filter & fulid. see what happens is the filter gets cloged up, rev kicks the line pressure up to 350 psi the cloged filter cant pass that much fulid, in a foward gear the pressure is only 150 to 175 and the cloged filter can pass enough fulid. be sure and use the right fulid, these newer trans will NOT work right if you dont.
