 Subject: 1997 Dodge Dakota Transmission Problem
IP: Logged
Message:
Hi, I recently bought a 97 dakota with 61000 miles on it. Everthing was working fine for a couple of days. Then i took it for a 200 miles plus trip, on which it didn't show up any problems. But after that if i drive it in the city traffic for an hour or 2, then get on the highway, the auto transmission does not get into OD mode, it either gets stuck on the 2nd gear or jumps between the OD and 3rd gear. Did anyone of u have similar problems. Also I spoke to one transmission shop guy, he said that some transmission oil pump might not be pumping properly after the transmission gets hot and one more person told me that the torque convertor might have gone bad.
If i drive it on the highwayonly i do not see this kinda problem.
Thanks for any Advice/Help,
Vijay

Don't ask transmissoin shops. They just want to sell you the most expensive repair they can.
First check that the TV cable is adjusted properly (do a search, don't ask).

On my 97 Dakota, when you go to put it in
drive or reverse it jumps and stalls. Had trans
rebuilt 3 years ago?

I bet your torque converter is stuck in lock up mode. Have you
checked for codes?

That sounds just like a Chrysler auto to me. I had a 518 so I guess you got an A500. It might need a overhaul although you really don't have enough miles to justify a overhaul. But that still beats the price of installing a new one unless you want too find one out in the junk yard.
