Default Interesting problem with reverse

This has happened to me several times

I go into reverse and back up and it "pops" out of reverse

It is like it goes into neutral however on the gear indicator nothing is highlighted

It is a new 07 dak with not even 5000k on it

Has this happened to anyone else

This has also happened to me, but It only happened once and I just put it back into reverse again. Strange occurance, however.

what is happening is the filter is pulling away from the nipple it resides on and is causing this problem.

This is interesting, I have been reading other forums and the such and this problem is being reported for the 07 rams as well.

http://townhall-talk.edmunds.com/dir...w/.f0e9885/109

and on this forum as well

https://dodgeforum.com/m_747070/tm.htm

I will be calling the dealership soon I will post up what they say which will probably be "it is fine, could not find anything"
