i have a 2000 dodge dakota 4.7L 4wd

here is my problem

-when shifting into drive there is a delay then hard shift, you can feel it shift
-while driving when it goes to shift from 2nd to 3rd there is also a delay then hard shift
-when going over 45 miles per hour there is a jumpy feeling like lightly taping on the breaks, almost like its jumping in and out of a shift.


a coworker said he had a 2001 dodge ram with these same symptoms and said it was a sensor but cant remember which one

any solutions are helpful

*Edit* ive checked the fluid level, its where its suppose to be
*edit* the only work ive recently done on my truck was get a new powersteering pump, havent done anything to the tranny.

 

Sounds like low trans fluid honestly.

 

Did you ever get this figured out? I have a 01 with similar symptoms and would like to know what you found out on this one. Thanks.. And mine is not low tranny fluid.

 

There are only 2 sensors I think on the trans. Have you messed with the tv cable at all, or had any work done for a shift kit or anything to the valve body?

 

I just bought the truck and I have not messed with it at all and from looking at it I would say that no one else has messed with the tranny either. The truck is completely un modified.

 

still no fix yet......
there has to be someone with the answer

 

Check your solenoids in trans pan fixed my jeep

 

You realize this thread is 12 years old? I would be surprised if he even still has the truck.....
