I just finished fixing a nightmare of a transmission problem and thought I would share what happened. I drove through a river and then it would not shift out of overdrive any more, and the shifting it did do was very rough. I tried adjustments based on your suggestions with no help. I then took it to ammco where they told me the whole tranny needed rebuilt(that's all they know how to do) I bought my own rebuilt tranny complete with torque converter, dynotested and it still did the exact same thing. I then took it to a local tranny shop and they told me it was electrical and to take it to the dodge dealer. The dealer's mechanic scratched his head for a few days and then told me he needed to tear into the tranny. I refused to let him. He then replaced the control chip, which did not help. Any guesses as to what it was?

Did you try changing the speed sensors?? Same thing happened to my Intrepid. Just a sensor went bad, replaced it, and have been fine ever since. Try that depending on what year Dak you have. Also, a little tip for the future, NEVER take a car to Ammco for anything. No matter what the problem is, they will always say the tranny's bad.
Hope this helps

they hire high school kids for minimum wage just to take out and put in trannys. They send your old tranny to a rebuild shop.
No expense just profit
