Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Auto transmission Gone-What did I do?

[Huff N Puff]

Not real certain about this, but I hope you turned the right screw

One of the screws is line pressure if you turned the line pressure screw clockwise it would lower line pressure,possibly causing it to slip . make sure you turned the right screw the right direction.

We all like our DTT's: BUT what was the problem with the stock transmission?????????????



Inquiring minds want to know

I guess the problem with my stock transmission, according to my DTT rebuilder, was that there was so much metal and other junk from my clutches etc. , that when I changed the fluid, the thinner new fluid caused the junk to clog up the Valve Body which allowed nothing else to work properly. ??? They said that I probably could have just not changed the fluid and it would have gone on several more thousands of miles.

(In fact, my co-worker has a 94 RAM gasser 318 that went 385,000 miles before his auto transmission went bad and he NEVER ONCE changed the fluid!)

Anyway, it works now, and my question is: Will it hold an Edge COMP @ 5/5?

Pit Bull,

I broke my power steering pump several months ago and since the brakes also work on the same pump, I had a heck of a time trying to keep the beast from moving with all my foot pressure on the inop brake. I can't imagine what it would do now with my DTT transmission!
