Hi guys we havin fun yet.....To tell you the truth im not. Need help bad this truck 1995 ram 5.9 auto is constantly messin with me. So, is it possible for the torque converter to be slugish till the rpm`s come up? When I stop, i give a little gas i feel a bump like it went into gear. Now, while im giving gas the very little bit it starts to move then as the rpm`s come up it takes off like usual. It shifts fine although, i get a little chatter sometimes when it goes into over drive so I let up on the gas a bit and stops and keeps going. Some one told me governor im thinkin freek converter i had it changed about a yr ago mine blew up completely. So please any input would help me so much. I cant do alot bein I just bought 2010 nitro for the wife and daughter. so hopfully its not a rebuild. (PRAYING) lol so let me know what u think on this problem child we call a DODGE... I luv it
Thx .....Jim

 

Aside from the little bump.... sounds like its working the way it should.

 

but, theres now power till rpms come up even in reverse like its holding back feels like a bad converter except it takes off when the rpms come up... jim

 

like i said before that little bump its like its between gears or something but its not its actually in low as it should b

 

Check the adjustment of the shift linkage.

Try pulling the shifter all the way down to low, and see if that changes the behavior any.

 

When you replaced the TC last year, did you rebuild tranny or just replace TC?

 

jus the converter no rebuild. the converter went bang in a big way while going up my street which is a steep hill thought it all fell out. As far as linkage i have a cable it seems fine it shifts great just no start off power forward or reverse.. strange huh? onle me.....

 

Is the fluid level ok? check in N when @opt temp like after a hwy road trip. Does it have the right type of atf in it?

 

fluid is fine used and right fluid infact just did the filter service 2 days ago...

 

I didi try shifting it into low and no difference ya know, if it slipped in gear or at shift Id understand but this is killin me. never experienced anything like it.
