was just wandering if anyone else has had problems going into reverse on their automatic 05. sometimes it just doesnt go into gear it shows on the dash that its in gear and feels like its in gear, im sure its not a serious problem but i was just interested to see if anyone else had this happen to them.
Happened twice to me. Seems that I didn't have the reverse lever all the way engaged since as I went to shift back into park, the lever popped down into place and went into reverse.
I haven't had thet problem, what I've had is it sometimes sounds like a brake drum dragging, but from the trans/transfer case area when I'm in reverse. Haven't taken it in for that yet.
Mine does it sometimes but only when I first start it and don't give it enough time to circulate. I've found if you will wait about 20-30 seconds (longer if cold) it will go right in gear everytime. It's good practice to do this anyway.
I aswell have this problem on my 2005 Ram 1500 Hemi and it still does it even if I wait a couple soconds or even minute before putting it into reverse. I have been really diapointed by my Dodge because this isn't the only problem I have had with it. I have taken it to the dealership many times and they try to fix it each time but the problem keeps happening.
