I have a 98 doge ram 1500 5.9 and I notice that my transmission maybe slipping.The problem seems to happen when I'm leaving the local coffee shop drive thru,I pull away,make a sharp turn and come to stop.When I go to pull away it feels like I'm in nutral.I wate a second or two and it feels like it goes into gear again.This only seems to happen when I leave this certain place.The truck has limitted slip rear end,could this be a cause or do you think my transmission is breaking down.
Also when I am giving her the gas sometimes the truck seems to hit a rev-limtter.Happens around 4500 rpms.As soon as I let off its fine.
Stange problems,hope some one has some advice.

 

i have a 99 1500 and my tranny was doing the same thing so i dicided to change the fluid and filter and when i pulled my pan ifound a metal wedge in the pan and later took it to a tranny shop anly to find that the wedge goes to the band for second gear so i would have to say the tranny is going down hill i my opinon i have it checked out

 

My truck does something like that now, it will feel like it is in nuetral and then it will take off and often chirp the tires.Every time Ichange the fluid I addsomeLucas Oil tranny stuff in it, I can't remember what its called.Knock on wood mine hasn't gone bad yet..........

 

Mine did that, except mine lasted about 2 more days after it happend the first time, then the transmission pretty much exploded so ide get it looked at.

 

Will do thanks...
