I Have A 1997 Dodge Ram 1500,I Blew A tranny Line And Lost all My Fluid.I Put New In And 2 Days Later It Started Shifting funny,Now When I Am Driving Down The Road it will seem like it goes into neutral,I then shut it off and restart it and it goes back into gear any ideas what this. Thanks

 

Welcome to DF! What year Ram so we can move you to the right section?

 

1997 dodge 1500.

 

MOving to the correct section.

 

Recheck fluid level. Engine up to operating temp, trans in neutral. Checking in park gives an artificially high reading.

 

I did that,Do you think a new filter will help??

 

Getting any codes? (most parts stores will read them for free.)

How long did it go without fluid?

 

went only about 40 yards without fluid before I came to a stop.

 

Is there any pattern to it? Drive for certain distance? Get it up to a certain temp?

When it stops working, does shutting off the truck, and restarting immediately make it work right again? For how long?

 

It Last about 10 mins then just comes out of gear,And yes if I shut it off and restart it, it will last another 5 to 10 mins. Also temp matters,If I let it sit to warm and check fuild then it will not go into gear unless I shut it off,The cooler ir gets the better it is.
