My transmission is sometimes holding second gear, refusing to shift into third until I either A: let off the gas and quickly cycle the transmission into neutral and back to drive (works every time), or b: rev the engine over 4500 rpm and then let off the gas (works sometimes).
There is another component to this, it only seems to do this during extreme cold. I experienced it once on a subzero day in my old home, now I have moved further north and subzero is common this time of year.
I'm planning on changing the filter/fluid this weekend, anything else I might look for while I'm under there?

Ask John Kunkle who is a member here.He knows those trans well.

Typical problem for the Rams of that year. They had a problem with a lip seal shrinking. Only fix is to rebuild it.

Front clutch seals need to be replaced.

Thanks guys, heard from John Kunkle and talked with a transmission specialist I know from back home. They both seem to agree with you. At least it's still functional, just not very automatic! Should let me limp it along for a little bit until I have time to tear into it. Its at over 150k miles, I was thinking an overhaul was coming pretty soon.

They are right as I used to see it alot at the Dealer I worked for. We had an updated front drum for many models also. Ron
