Transmission Troubles
I have a 04 CTD 4X4 that I bought a couple months ago and the trans has started giving me some troubles shifting out of second gear into third. It studders in between those gears and sometimes will shift at weird points later on in the sequence. I have noticed if I just ease into the acceleration it don't seem to studder and the same if I just whomp on it. I have checked the fluid in the trans and even cleaned all the ground on the truck that I could find. Could it be the bands needing adjusted or something similar to that? Thanks.

Gasket
How difficult is it to adjust those bands? I read on another forum user that had a 05 that the bands are really thin and if you tighten them too much then you are going to burn them up or break them. How do I know where their sweet spot is? Is tightening the bands a diy or is it better to take to a trans shop? Also is the trans pan gasket a reusable rubber gasket or do I just need to buy a new replacement? Sorry for all the questions I don't know much about transmissions and I'm learning slowly on this one.

steve05ram360 posted a thread awhile back that has the service manual that you can download to your computer that shows you all the parts to your truck and it has the torque specs for adjusting your bands I printed the pages from the manual last week because I am going to attempt the band adjustment on my 01 this weekend I have a 47re so I know those specs are in the manual good luck with it if you tackle it yourself
