Redlining before shift
2000 Dakota R/T 60000 Miles, all stock
Redlining before shift
I noticed one day that if I got on it WOT that I would redline before shifting. I figured I had a tranny problem so I changed the filter and oils. The problem was still there. I started scouring the forum and ended up trying to adjust the TV cable. No matter the position I still redline. What are your suggestion on where I start looking next?
Any and all help will be appreciated
Thanks,
-Keith

when i put in my fastman tb he told me to turn the truck to on, don't start, and after the lights stop push the gas pedal to the floor slowly then let it up and the start it. if that doesn't work the trans shop told me to adjust the tps voltage. there is a thread on here about that.

What I meant by redline was the rev limiter kicks in and I have to let off to get it to shift.
I'm sure it's not a coincidence that after work today it did nothing but slip into gear, reverse and all forward gears. I'm pretty sure it was my terrible job at adjusting the TB cable.

DESCRIPTION
Transmission throttle valve cable (Fig. 237) adjust- ment is extremely important to proper operation. This adjustment positions the throttle valve, which controls shift speed, quality, and part-throttle down- shift sensitivity.
If cable setting is too loose, early shifts and slip- page between shifts may occur. If the setting is too tight, shifts may be delayed and part throttle down- shifts may be very sensitive.
A correctly adjusted throttle valve cable will cause the throttle lever on the transmission to move simul- taneously with the throttle body lever from the idle position. Proper adjustment will allow simultaneous movement without causing the transmission throttle lever to either move ahead of, or lag behind the lever on the throttle body.

Okay, throttle body lever and the lever on the tranny are in absolute sync. (had to use a camcorder, long AV cables and a TV to verify it but it is done.) Still have the rev limiter kicking in and some funny shifts happening.
What would you recommend next...pressure reg, speed sensor, band adjustment?
I know you have seen the questions hundreds of times and I appreciate you all putting up with me.
Thanks,
