I have a 01 Dodge Ram 1500, with a automatic transmission, v6. And I've seen that it's a common problem with Dodge 1500 not shifting right, though once you ease up on the accelerator it slips back in the right gear, So my trucks always been like that, but within the last month though it's way worse, I have to accelerate very slowly so the rpm stays average, and make sure when I pull out there's no cars because it takes so long to gain speed. Otherwise if I accelerate normally it runs hard and the rpm will shoot on up to 3 and 4 and then I can't slip it out, and you can hear it running hard. Or I won't be able to keep a speed of 60ish cause it will go way above in speed and rpm or slip down and I won't be able to get it to 60. Hopefully I made this all clear. And just for the record I checked the transmission fluid, it's fine.
If anyone knows how to fix this, I really can't have the tranny blow, this things got to last for me to take to college. Any minor fixes it might be? Would it be too difficult to rebuild the tranny for someone who's never done it before?
Any suggestions or help is greatly greatly appreciated!
