My tranmission does not kick in for a few seconds when first starting the truck and shifting into gear. This is only happening when first started after a long period of time.

What type problem may this be?

Thanks

 

I will move this to the 3rd Generation Dakota sub-forum.

 

fluid and filter change recently???

install the filter gasket with a mopar punch? fluid level correct? our trans are really picky.

 

I had the problem after adding 32'' tires on my 3.7L I added a B&M Tranny Cooler and it helped out alot.

 

I have this problem too! It started after I changed my tranny fluids & filters! I switched to synthetic ATF+4... now I just wait a minute then put it into reverse

 

Not sure if I got the TSB my dealer sucks and sure did not look into it. I just wait a few minutes for the truck to warm up and don't have the problem. If you get in and try and go right away the lag is HUGE so start with the dealer and the TSB then
