Hey guys my names ryan, im 18 and i just bought a 94 dodge ram 1500 back on february, and i got it as a project truck. well the transmission i cant seem to fix. it wont go into drive or second gear. but will run just fine in first... ive replaced the filter and the gasket and put brand new oil in it and adjusted the bands.. but still cant fix it... any ideas guys? i really need your help.. i dont want to spend $2,000 on a rebuild cuz thats twice what i paid for the truck.. so please any ideas on how to fix it would really help me out.

 

Have you tried manually shifting it?

Remove the 8 Pin Connector from the driver side of the transmission, you'll HAVE to shift manually, see if it works any differently.

 

its a automatic transmission guys.. thats my problem

 

^This tells us nothing.
We're trying to help you and you're being sarcastic about it.


Do you want to fix it or b1tch about it? Which is is, bro?

 

There should be an 8 pin connector on the driver side of the transmission, when you unplug it you DISABLE the automatic function, and you'll HAVE to use the gear selector to shift up/down....

 

ok thanks.

 

Instead of being a SMART A$$ when people ask you to try something you do not understand swallow your pride and ASK!!!! We all had to learn somehow and believe me I have asked tons of questions that many might consider stupid. So don't worry about it and just ask and learn. There are tons of folks on here that have a ton of knowledge and will share it but if you cop an attitude they will clam up.

Also download a factory service manual here https://dodgeforum.com/forum/2nd-gen...e-manuals.html and do some reading. Also use the search feature here and on other truck related forums and read the responses you come up with.

 

The only stupid question is the one that isn't asked.
