I have a 96 ram 2500 4x4 with a 360. I keep having this problem with my tranny where it shifts great from 1st to 2nd, but 2nd to 3rd it wont shift until I let off the gas. And no I'm not gunning it. Even with slow steady pressure it wont shift until I release the gas and then it shifts hard. Then will drop into overdrive at about 45 mph which makes my truck seriously lag. Anyone have any ideas. I checked the fluid and its full. Thanks.
When was the last time you had a tranny service and had the bands adjusted? I have a '95 2500and had a similar problem with the 1-2 shift. After I changed the tranny filter, adjusted the low-reverse band, and added 5 quatrs of newATF+4 fluid it now shifts fine.
