Let us know if you find any garbage in the bottom of the pan other than just some grey slidge on magnet. Also, you may want to instlall a drain plug in the pan for future use.

 

Ok i'm having something similar issue, The trans shift's nicely from first to second but is sluggish into third and now wont go into overdrive and also takes forever into reverse. Any help would be great. also is a 1995 Ram 2500 V10

 

Going to dive into this trans issue today. Drove it yesterday with the Over Drive off and had the same issue. I put it into Neutral then back into drive and after putting it back to Drive, I "goosed" the gas and it was in Neutral still, "goosed" it again and it kicked through to 3rd. Just another "sympton" I thought I'd pass along for future trouble shooters and to possibly help refine your guys input. I'll update later this evening after the basic maintainence is done.

 

Well gentlemen, I dove into my transmission yesterday. the fluid looked good, there was some grime build up on the magnet, pretty thick, but being a used truck, god only knows last time it was checked. i replaced the one sensor that looks like a tiny canister (about as big around as a quarter, faces directly down), new gasket, fluid...and the ol' girl seems to be doing just fine. I really appreciate your guy's input and advice, anytime any of you are passing through southern Ohio, send me a message on here and I'll buy the first round of brews as a Thanks.

 

That would be the Gov. Solenoid. If it acts up again, get one of these instead of a stock one. http://www.doghousediesel.com/catalog/i307.html
