Car Forum / Dodge / Dodge Trucks / August 2007Tranny slipping
on a 96 4x4 2500 w/Cummins. Is this an adjustment or a rebuild? It will be going to the shop for servicing as soon as I set up a ride there and back and want to prepare myself for the worse.

Some times it actually locks up fine and takes off like a gasser would. >>> on a 96 4x4 2500 w/Cummins.

Do you feel its actually slipping or perhaps delayed shift to 2nd? > Do you feel its actually slipping or perhaps delayed shift to 2nd? It just sits there, then engages and off I go. I take my foot off the brake and it may or may not move. Eventually it will. Sometimes a quick blip of the accelerator will get it to move other times, I have to wait for it, the apply throttle. > It just sits there, then engages and off I go. > I take my foot off the brake and it may or may not move.

Dumb question, but gotta ask... have you checked the fluid level, with the engine running and tranny in neutral? If that's OK, then removing and inspecting the pan will tell you whether it's a repair or a re-build. >> I take my foot off the brake and it may or may not move. Eventually >> it will.

Yep, fluid is full to the mark. I check it warm, after a nice long drive, and then in neutral. I last changed it 2-3 years ago ....maybe 25k miles. I'd have to check my maint log. I was changing it every year myself. >>> I take my foot off the brake and it may or may not move. Eventually >>> it will.

I was changing it every year myself. It could be a weak main pump or leaking seal on clutch pack. As idle oil flow is at it lowest and leakage would cause the most trouble. Since it graps when RPM increases it tends to suggest a weak pump of clutch leak because oil flow would increase with RPM and overcome a leak or weak pump. If this is true it would also tend to maybe slip more when it is fully hots and do its best when it is between cold and fully hot. ----------------- TheSnoMan.com > It just sits there, then engages and off I go. > I take my foot off the brake and it may or may not move.

Thank you. >> It just sits there, then engages and off I go. >> I take my foot off the brake and it may or may not move. Eventually >> it will.

Mine felt like it was slipping when accelerating from a stop. Don't know the exact problem but they replaced a part inside and just had to drop the pan. |
