Default Transmission problems

  1. Changed the filter & fluid and made the adjustments to the bands.
  2. Now, when the overdrive is on and it gets to about 35-40 MPH the whole truck just shakes up & down. It feels like it's more the front end bouncing up & down. Turn the OD off & it mellows right out. It seems like it's shifting back & forth from 3rd to 4th. Also, during acceleration it doesn't seem to really want to gear down & speed up. It feels like it's shifting back & forth between gears.
  3. When idling forward, like at a traffic light or in the drive-thru at the burger house, it feels like something is out of balance and you feel the bouncing again. Only slower bounces. Do it long enough & everybody in the truck will get "sea sick".

Some are, I dont know if the tps on the dodges are adjustable, but if it is then adjust that sucker. Or use a volt meter and check how it functions. The shuttling from 3-4 could be the tps giving a bad signal
