My 97 is not shitfting correctly and trying to get some information. The tranny fluid is good (checked in N) but the tranny does not shift correctly . When I put the truck in "R" it takes a couple of seconds then jumps into gear. When i put the truck in "D" it will run in 2nd gear for about a mile while driving 35 - 45 mph then it will shift hard into 3rd and on up like normal . I have noticed once the truck is at normal operating temp that the shifting is not as bad. I have read something on the web about the electronic governor would this have something to do with the problem? Where is this located and can I test this on my own or do i have to have a machanic test it ? Thank for the help in advance.

 

IM NOT A TRANS GURU BUT , MY 97 DID THE SAME THING AND I FOUND A LOOSE LINE GOING TO THE TRANS THAT WAS LEAKING . MY BUDDY HAD THE SAME ISSUE SOME YEARS AGO AND HE DID MENTION TO ME ABOUT THE GOVERNOR THAT HE HAD TO CHANGE OUT . THATS ALL I KNOW BUT ID LET ONE OF THESE CUMMINS GODS ANSWER YOU TO BE SURE .

 

Thanks for the info. I looked all up under the truck but did not see any leaks. I am going to call a trans shop tomorrow just dont want to get ripped off since i know little about auto transmissions.
