05 Dakota Tranny Delay
Hey guys! new to the forums.. Just thought id throw this out there for someone to hopefully give me a hand...
2005 Dakota SLT - 4.7 - Auto Tranny..
The Problem im having is, When my trucks left overnight, i go start it in the mourning to goto work; and put it into drive - it takes about 5 to 10 seconds to actually engage into drive..
So... Once you put it in drive, w/ your foot on the brake, about 5-10 seconds later u can feel the truck lurch forward abit (finally goes into drive)
I Dropped my Tranny Pan, no abnormal metal filings found.. WhEn i had my Pan Dropped i Replaced both Filters w/ aftermarket (non dodge ones) from my local parts shop.. Filled it up w/ Amsoil Universal ATF.. Etc.. Alot of the time people say "check your oil level" - yes it can cause a delay etc.. but thats not the issue.. the levels fine..
Something Very Similar To this Issue above Discussed in the TSB.. http://dodgeram.info/tsb/2005/21-015-05.htm
Im Not to sure what to make of that TSB.. Seems like the Fix is to replace the filters .. And i did that, and its still doing the delay..
Suggestions?
Thanks in Advance

How many miles?
Are you under the power train warranty? 7yr 70,000 miles?
Take it to the dealer and tell them to look at it. Does not cost you to have them look at a possible warranty issue.
Possible torque converter issue.
Also I would have not filled the trans back up with UNIVERSAL ATF.
Just because it says universal does not mean you are getting the protection you need.
I have heard a lot of people having great luck with Royal purple. My next trans flush will be with that.

I had the same issue. I went in for the Trans TSB and it fixed it. the filter they put in is different than the stock filter, and they flush the trans completely. There should not be a charge to look at a warranty issue. There could be a deductible, but there shouldnt be any charge to look at it. Might want to try a different dealer if they say there is. (this is based on my experience in the US, I have a feeling you might "not be from around here". lol)

Record Breaker
mine had a problem like that. mine would take too long to shift between gears and way too long to get on overdrive. it felt like it was a pause or an empty space between the gear shifting (have no idea on how to explain it) but i took her to the dealer and they found the tranny selenoid bad so it was changed under warranty and problem solved. so if it's still i warranty, take her in! good luck!!!
