Try this first, drop it into low, ( foot on the brake of course), and work your way up through the gears a few times slowly, repeat this a few times, see if that doesn't help, your ****** has air in the lines, and needs to work them out more than likely,

My 2001 dodge durango transmission was worked on and the filter was changed and its got fluide now it wont go in reverse and when its in park its shows reverse and its slipping a lil what can i do?
First make sure the fluid is up to the proper level hot and that the filter was installed correctly. If booth check out ok then you will need to tear down and rebuild the transmission.

Check level and condition of your transmission fluid. If your transmission fluid is turning brown or if your vehicle has not had a transmission fluid and filter change in 5 years or 50,000 miles, do that right away before you fry your transmission.

2002 Durango transmission sluggish when shifting from 1st to 2nd gear. I was told that the Transmission needs flushed and new Fluid added
Usually if the trans is acting up new fluid isn't going to change a thing, that's usually a ploy to get you to spend some money, just what I have seen.. Q: does the trans act up more or less when hot or cold, if there is a difference with temp then changing the fluid isn't going to help you, but that's my opinion, I been a dodge tech for 17 years but anything is possible with cars......

How to Change transmission fluid on 2001 celica
Hi there, hope these few steps help:
  • Raise the car with a jack and support the vehicle with jack stands sufficiently rated to safely support the weight of the vehicle.
  • Place a large drip pan under the transmission.
  • Remove the transmission fluid drain bolt with a wrench. The drain bolt is located at the bottom of the transmission facing the pan. The pan is the large flat plate that covers the very bottom of the transmission.
  • Drain the transmission fluid into the drip pan.
  • Reinstall the transmission fluid drain bolt with the same wrench used to remove the bolt.
  • Lower the vehicle to the ground after removing the jack stands.
  • Open the hood and remove the transmission dipstick from the filler tube by pulling the dipstick. The end of the dipstick will be curved into a circle to allow a finger to slide into the circle to withdraw the dipstick.
  • Place a funnel into the dipstick tube and fill the transmission with new fluid by pouring the fluid into the dipstick tube.
  • Remove the funnel and check the fluid level with the dipstick until the fluid reaches the "Full" mark on the tip of the dipstick.
  • Start and allow the engine to run for a few minutes.
  • Move the transmission gear selector through all of the gears while depressing the brake pedal.
  • Turn the engine off and check the fluid level on the dipstick. Add transmission fluid if necessary.
Best of luck.

How to change transmission fluid and filter in a 2001 kia sportage, my car sounds as if it is not switching gears, the other day i was sitting in park and the rpms jumped up to like 2 and then it was quiet...
the is a drain plug on bottom of tranny. Remove all tranny fluid. Then remove bolts on the tranny pan, remove pan. Remove couple filter bolts and change filter. Replace new gasket and tranny pan. Fill up tranny with 8 quarts or whatever your user manual says with correct fluid.

2005 dodge durango 4x4 I changed the transmission fluid. And after filling it back up it will not move in any gear? It worked perfect before the change. Is there a code that needs to be reset?
no you likely cut an o ring on the filter not allowing the pump to build pressure

It sounds like your torque converter is draining when it sits. Would need to replace the torque converter if this is the case.

2000 DURANGO 5.2 AUTO
I would get the transmission fluid and filter changed by an ASE certified mechanic. That transmission is designed to put itself into second gear as a limp home mode. If you only have the problem when it is cold, you might still have a chance to save your transmission from total failure by changing.
