just had the tranny rebuilt . did a complete tune up. when driving it seems like it shifts real fast. it feels like im in overdrive at 40 mph and has no power. when I kick it down, it down shifts for a second and then falls flat on its face, no power. when I did the tune up I found rust in the distributor on the timing advance. I cleaned it off the best I could but it still has some on it . cold this be the problem ? do I need a new dis. shaft ? any help would be very helpful . THANKS

 

i dont know you engine or trany. but it sounds like the linkage or cable going to the trany from the throttle body is miss adjusted. i think it is set to lite, readjust it to pull more on the trany. if you can find the factory setting should be good for most people. years ago i would reset them and even mod them. but i dont recommend that for most people.

 

Check your TV cable adjustment, if that isn't it, take it back to the rebuilder.

 

its a 318 I cant remember the tranny . the shop said it was a 5 speed ?

 

What year is your truck?

 

If you just paid big bucks to have it rebuilt, take it back, show them the problem, have THEM fix it.

 

sorry guys its a 2001 ram 1500. I told them about it they said I had a bad miss. I then did the tune up . the mechanic took it for ride said it was fine dumb a##. Ill take it back and go with him for a ride. thanks for the help

 

If the truck has lack of power, you may have a plugged exhaust system.
