I have noticed recently that my transmission (automatic) is not shifting smoothly when I come from a stop. usually 1st to 2nd, (around 3000-3500 rpm) and when it does it shifts hard. I have a 2000 1500 off-road). Should I be expecting my transmission to go belly up or is there a simple solution?

 

Adjust your TV cable. The adjustment procedure is in the FSM you can download from the FAQ/DIY section.

 

Hey jack, I'm no expert so deff listen to these guys but i just wanna share my same experience with my tranny over the last few days.

Same this would occur mainly during cold operation it would either shift kinda hard from 1>2 or not want to shift at all until warmed up a bit. I just dropped my pan today and did filter and added ATF+4 to it and shifting seems back to normal and a lot smoother overall through gears. And it was also around the same rpm as you... But i would start where arde suggested GL

 

Awesome. Thank you guys

 

Do you think a trans fluid change would be a good idea? I couldn't find where to adjust the tv cable. I'm not to good when it comes to using this google machine. Can you post a link?

 

My fluid is full and pink (no grit).

 

Link to the FSM. You'll find the adjustment procedure in there. Don't know what page as I only have the '95 manual.

 

i drove it around today, no issues. (its not my daily driver anymore due to not good mpg's) im going to drive it to work tomorrow and see if it does it again.
