Hi Everyone. This looks like a great forum.

I have a 2001 4x4 5.9l Ram Quad Cab SB w/about 48k miles on it. The tranny recently started slipping when going from 1st to 2d gear, and it is most pronounced with a load on it. When it starts slipping, the engine revs, but my forward motion starts dying. If I baby it, I can get it to eventually shift, and the problem does not seem to continue (although I continue to baby it) after getting past 2d. Based on my search of this forum, it could be any of a number of things, including my need for a new tranny. If I do need a new tranny, I may upgrade to something from APS Precision. However, I don't want to take my truck to a stealership, so I'm looking for a good transmission specialist in central NJ. I've sent an email to APS to see if they have anyone they deal with, but I also thought someone here might have someone they trust. I don't know jack about tranny's, but once the lease on my car is up, I'd like to make the Ram my daily driver. So I'm interested in a bullet proof tranny, shift kit, deep oil pan and anything else that people here would consider when replacing/repairing a tranny. Thanks.

Anyone?

What about the transmission specialist chains like Aamco? Are they worth going to?

 

hey welcome to DF. Im going to be visting my friend today in central Jersey. Ill see if he know any place around. ive never had the need for a tranny shop so im to firmilar with them around here. I have no idea if they do any kinda of transmission work but you might want to see if OK 4WD can do it or knows a good shop.

 

Thanks Tani1500. The lease on my M3 is up in Feb, and I'm thinking of making the Ram my daily driver, so I should probably do up the tranny right.

 

Anyone have any experience with Aamco? I know they don't do aftermarket stuff, but I don't know any tranny people in my area.

 

hey tani what part of jersey are ya from, im in monmouth county right near millstone. any one else besides us in jersey??

 

I am in northern Jersey... near NYC...

I know a couple guys that work in dealers around here I would trust with my tranny (I used to work for a Jeep dealer)... in fact if mine ever goes bad I will pull it myself and hand it to one of them to rebuild....

I don't know of anyone down in your area... sorry guys...

 

im about 5 mins from Paramus in bergan county

 

Yea, I'm from north jersey as well. I just had my tranny done about 10k ago. Its been back a few times, but theres another place bout 15 mins away from my which ive heard good things about. I think they may be a little on the higher side with cost, but after having issues with my trans, i wish i had taken it to them. The name of the place is Level 10 transmission. Its up on Rt 94, i think in vernon, nj.

 

i was gonna mention Level ten until i saw u did.
