Title: '94-'01 Automatic Transmissions Post by: Cooter on November 30, 2004, 10:19:29 PM Title: Preserving your Automatic Transmission
Weak Link: The weak link is usually the overdrive unit in the transmission. However every transmission is different, therefore other internal parts could also cause problems. Models Affected:’94-’01 Dodge Rams What happens: Slipping, loss of reverse, loss of forward gear(s) burnt & brownish-colored transmission fluid. Defective torque converters..(in my case a cracked servo ruined my 46RE) Strong Fix: The strongest fix is a total rebuild. A few things you can do to help your transmission last is to change the fluid & filter every 30,000 miles,and turn your Overdrive OFF when towing. After a rebuild, clean out the transmission cooler lines with compressed air. The factory transmission cooler should be replaced with an aftermarket unit to prevent contaminated fluid from re-entering your new transmission. Contact: http://www.haydenauto.com |
