2005 dodge dakota 4.7 v8 non h/o 2wd.

transmission gives small/mild jolt/jerk (used to be more severe before the pcm reprogram) when under light acceleration or feathering the throttle around 30mph. it is an intermittent problem, i have been battling my carmax warranty for months regarding this issue. every time it does happen it always does it around 30mph. i notice it alot in traffic when the truck is already warmed up.

 

try disconnecting the battery over nite. check ur fluids, makesure ur using mopar at4 and not a different atf4 even if it says its for Chrysler.

 

just had it serviced a few months back at a dodge dealer. they did a flush and replaced filter/gasket

 

they say if they found and metal shavings in pan or on the magnet? check ur fluid if its low it will shift weird.. u should be able to feel the shift but not a clonk

 

no mention of shavings, i asked them about it too. if the fluid was low they would have mentioned it to me when they gave me the truck back yesterday i hope. i also have a problem of the truck being super weak when going up the mountains, trans just wants to stay in low 1500 rpms and not go above 20-40mph unless i slam the pedal to the floor. i suspect its all related somehow.
