Default 1994 Ram 1500 Transmission problem

Looking for some help. About 4 months ago I changed my filter and fluid because the transmission was acting funny. Didn't work. When truck is cold, before shifting into 2nd it seems like the truck is "over-revving" then going into 2nd. 2nd to 3rd and so on are fine. I live in PA so this winter was very cold. As the truck runs for a while, it seem to be ok. The truck has about 146,000 miles on it. any ideas? Thanks in advance.

in cold weather a clogged filter will act up. in rev is most effected cause it requires much more pressure.
i found this EXTERNAL filter.
man o man i about forgot yes its a cut & past sorry. __________________
after you clean the trans. add this to your*chrysler*trans. an external fluid filter
1. go to auto-zone. get 2210, its called a power steering filter, but it is for transs to. it is for 3/8 tubing. by (magna-fine) be sure to use high pressure hose. Reff:http://www.magnafilter.com
2. for other sizes wix 58964 5/16 tube size

Adjust the bands. That means dropping the pan again though.

I just ajusted my TV Cable and that took care of my revs between shifts. I was only getting a few hundred climb between shifts though

Checking it was easy, when I found my cable was actualy several mm short it took all of 1 minute to adjust.
Sorry this link is to ramforumz It was just the best description with pics I found
