Any options for improving Transmission downshifting?
Why is it my ram wont downshift until one really puts their foot into the gas to create the need, but yet the need is already there beforehand? Basically at lower speed turns the tranny will not down shift from say 3rd gear as i roll onto the gas. The truck obviously needs to downshift to accelerate better but instead is bogged down trying to get going. To fix this I end up pushing the gas pedal until it recognizes the need to downshift and then finally does so.
Is there a true fix, hopefully a cost effective and easy fix, one that wont ruin my tranny? The way it currently shifts really takes the fun out of driving it around town.

Pressing the O/D button is not "tricking" it - it's a downshift (all the way down to third). I often use that for moderate braking. If I need more, I pull it down to second.

I was having similar issues with my truck...

No telling if your issue is similar, but for $40 and 15 minutes of your time, it may be worth a gamble. Also, are you due for a transmission fluid change?
