Default Problems with transmission?

I decided I would do this because I want to know how many people have had problems with a dodge and their transmission I know I have had nothing but problems with mine.

The only problem I have with my tranny is it downshifts hard into first gear when it's cold outside

Mine shifts kinda hard from first to second when it is cool out and only on the first time it shifts when I start driving it, otherwise first to second is alright. Only complaint I have is that the tranny shifts very sloppily....not an easy up shift/down shift when trying to accelerate a little quicker than usual.

that's because the oil has to be to a certain temperature to shift properly and lubricate to the fullest extent.

yes had problems after 4000 miles.. tranny was replaced. wouldnt even shift past 1st gear anymore. when i gave it gas it would drop in to neutral when it hit 3500 rpms. happened out of nowhere one day. but ive put 14000 miles on the new tranny and its fine.

I think the issue is lotsa ppl see the hemi ram as a sports truck that they can beat on and go fast do burnouts and such. Look online on youtube tons of guys revving it up in N and droppin into drive it's so stupid. Then they come back and say "my tranny is blown waaahahhahahhahaha, I'll never buy dodge again" I take no stock in the tranny comments althoguh I would literally poo my pants for a RCSB Hemi sport 4x4 with six speed manual. I would buy it in a heart beat no questions asked whatsoever. givin me a huge stiffy thinkin about it.
