Car Forum / Dodge / Dodge Trucks / May 20072001 Dodge Dakota Auto Transmision - No Reverse
Good morning, I have a 2001 Dodge Dakota 2WD, V6. Forward gears are excellent...I can do engine breaking in forward gears... Problem is...no reverse. I can hear it go into reverse...like the usual very mild clunk, but it does not move. I am hesitant to go to a transmission shop for this...just finished paying $3000 for a transmision for my Impala... I would like to know what the most common problem could be based on these symptoms...if it is too much than I will get a used transmission...I hardly ever use this vehicle... Does anyone have a hint on what the most likely cause would be... Steve > Does anyone have a hint on what the most likely cause would be... Rear band... pull the pan, and check the rear band adjustment. Make sure it's not loose/broken/missing pieces (that you'll find in the pan). Next step would be to put a pressure gauge (300psi) on the rear servo test port, and see what pressure (if any) you get when you put it in reverse (should be around 150psi or so). If you have the ability, I'd do the pressure test first, since you can do that (must do, in fact) with the pan on and tranny full of fluid. Took your advice...I dropped the oil pan and found what looks like a large retaining ring in pieces...looks to have a 4 inch diameter...it almost looks like it belongs with the Reverse band... Can this be replaced without removing the transmission?

I hate when that happens... one of our former tranny experts here (Gary G, for those that remember) used to call those "identifiable chunks", and when you have chunks that you can actually identify, that's bad... 4" diameter is more along the lines of a thrust washer - the reverse band is larger than that. But that detail aside, I still think you found your problem. > Can this be replaced without removing the transmission? Nope - gotta take it out and tear it down. Sorry the news isn't better.

Sorry the news isn't better. I wonder if Gary G. is still alive and kicking, anyone heard form him or Budd for that matter? |
