welL what transmission is really there, 2001 year.Dodge RAM 1500 pickup I guess.
many this old 21yo have the wrong box, and wrong gear ratio's now.
or has TV cable or has vacuum modulator bad.
as transmission evolved fast, the cable TV and modulator was no longer used, (and both delay shifts)
the E box, TCM that knows load on engine
this is mix of old and modern Eboxes
dodge name is 42RE; Trans. code 46RE
and knows vacuum and throttle angle and shift by engine load
and throttle angles and by road speed. (VSS)
scan the PCM/TCM yet,see if it is not happY> that be first of sure and Ebox.
it has TV cable and gov. modulator that both can fail.
cable rusted and suck open is common'
it has EPC tool pressure mudulator that if fails so do shift points.
I think the 1/2 shift solenoid has failed, making it unable to find low gears. This part is not expensive but is inside the trans, so repair is best done on a hoist as the trans pan has to come off. Change the internal filter too (if fitted)
.
You don't say what year model. Could be vacuum leak, or perhaps trans filter and fluid needs to be changed. If this doen't help, might be time for trans shop testing.
the trans needs repairs it could just be a valve body
solenoid problem or a more internal problem if it was me
I would by add a Lucas oil trans additive first then cross ur fingers good luck this stuff sometimes works wonders to delay a needed repair
Not too good. The least expensive change you can make is the oil. Go to a Mr Lube and have them do a hot change and put an additive into it. The new oil will help the clutches to grab and the additiv e will free up the valve body to shift properly. If that doesn't work you either need to rebuild it or replace it with a used one. Sometimes you can get lucky and find factory GM rebuild at the wrecker that will give you years of good use. The key is fresh oil and change it after the first 20k, then it's probably good for 60 more.
should not hurt it,that trans.has shift solonoids,you will feel it shift between gears,if it has under 100.000 miles you can get it serviced,if it starts taking off in 2ond.have all the sol.replaced,not at a dealer but a good trans.shop
by the sound of it i could be a problem with 1 of the driveshafts maybe a u-joint. have it double checked at another shop. My knowledge of those CRV's reminds me that the bushings thar hold up the rear end of that suv are also prone to wear . temperature can also cause unwanted noises. maybe an oil spray me b the cure u need.
The 1st thing to do is have a test run on the transmission control module to see if any trouble codes are present, next have you ever serviced the transmission, fluid and filter change, should be done at 60,000 miles, on occasion this can cure problems like yours.
