Exclamation 1998 Ram 1500 tranny issues
I have a 98 2wd 318 with 140xxx, and between 50 and 60 it kind of more or less feels like it slips. Has anyone else had this problem and if so what did you do?

Take the pan off and see whats in it. Sounds like OD unit snap ring is laying in the pan.

And get a drain plug kit form local auto parts store to make future ventures into tranny easier. Also, only use ATF+4, and check fluid in neutral only!

(slipping, there zman!)
