No additional additives please. They cause more problems than they solve. Some folks have good results, but, the transmission guys that used to hang around here had nothing good to say about them.

Wont spin tires on loose gravel going up the road 15MPH and quickly stomp it to the floor theres no kickdown just a slow gradual pickup in speed. Basically if there's no code showing for it, assume it's good??

No.

Far too many sensor can be bad, in various ways.... that won't set a code.

If it won't kick down at 15 mph..... I would have a hard look at the TV cable, make sure it is hooked up on both ends, and properly adjusted. Start with the easy stuff.

One thing I did notice and not sure if it has any bearing in it but shifter is really loose around the drive setting, you have to play with shifter ,wiggle it a little to hit drive where all the other gear points it locks in pretty solid

Bushings on the shift linkage are notorious for wearing out..... I do believe they are still available from dodge though. Wouldn't hurt to have a look, see what ya think, and repair as necessary, then adjust it up properly. I don't think it is the root of your problem, but, might be a contributor.

Thanks again. Gonna drain and change fluid this weekend and was only wondering about the soleniods while i had pan off. I did read somewhere where they can be cleaned up with brake/parts cleaner.

Cleaning is a stop-gap measure. If they are problematic, just replace 'em.

Adjust your bands too while you are in there.
