trouble shifting into 2, and slips in 2nd
1995 dodge ram 1500 4wd 5.9L,Automatic trans. 320,000 miles, rebuilt tranny about 4 yrs ago, but low miles on rebuilt tranny, haven't driven it too much.
The truck is having trouble shifting into 2nd. it will shift if I release the accelerator and "help" it into 2nd. Otherwise it will wind out before finally shifting.
Once it's in 2nd if i give it too much gas it will slip back into 1st. Where should I start troubleshooting besides fluid level and throttle cable, those are correct.
Also the speedometer either doesnt work at all or bounces around. any ideas??

Are you getting any codes? Is the PCM whining about VSS?

Yes, I've gotten code 51 and code 17. Last night I tried to adjust the front band (kickdown) following the instructions out of the service manual. But the adjusting screw wouldn't tighten up at all. If I would have kept trying to tighten it it would have screwed right on into the tranny, inside lol what's that all about??
