Auto trans starts in second gear after stop
 
HELP This is my first post. I just purchased a 1996 Dodge SLT 2500 LB with auto trans. When I drove it home I noticed that after coming to a stop then taking off again it sounded like it was kind stalling while actually it was still in second gear. I have notice it does not always do this but most off the time. If I come to a stop and turn the engine off and start it again it will start of in first and shifts normal again. Any ideas or experience with this please let me know.

sounds like the governor solenoid in the transmission

I agree, had that go out on my 03, no big deal easy fix.

Do you know how hard the previous owner drove it? I had a bully dog set on extreme on my truck and developed the same problem by stomping on the gas too hard taking off with the stock trans. I did it too often and I lost first gear.

I probably could have rebuilt it but just put in another factory reman trans.

I also wonder if you might have some sludge in the trans getting stuck in places it shouldn't seeing how it doesn't do it every time for you. How many miles are on the truck? Do you know if the trans was serviced at all?

Not sure
 
From what the owner told me he bought it from a women teacher who drove it for 90k he then purchased it and had it for 9 years. He drove it on commute to work "Fireman" he said it did not even have a hitch on it so he put one and a fifth wheel so he could pull his dads trailer once in a while. His wife then used it to pull a concessions trailer for a year on weekends but gave it up. Truck has 190K he said he had tranny rebuild like 4-5 years ago, brakes done, front end done, lift pump changed and injector pump tested ok, and the manifold heater changed. Thats about all I know. Truck is all stock no alteration at all. Thanks

i would say its the governor solenoid too. i have replaced many of these when i was workin at a dodge dealership

You need to get it to someone thats got a good scan tool because it sounds like Gov Pressure Issue.

gwhammy 02-21-2009 04:59 PM

I believe it's probably a solenoid, when it does it pull over and shut it off. When you restart it ought to start in low. My 02 does this and the trans guy said it's about a 200 dollar fix. They have an updated solenoid for it.
96, is that a rh or a re? I really don't know.

wildbill 02-24-2009 10:11 PM

Any updates??

ingramg 02-24-2009 11:08 PM

Sorry no update yet guys. I need to get a gauge to test trans pressure and not sure of the proper port to test. I was told that if it is over 1.5lbs on the proper port the governor solenoid is bad. I may take it to this trans shop who said they would test it for free and tell me what the problem is. I would really like a manual on these transmissions so if anyone knows were to get one for trouble shooting and overhauls let me know.

wildbill 02-27-2009 12:15 PM

If it's starting in second, might be in limp mode. You able to run past 45??

ingramg 02-27-2009 01:21 PM

Limp mode?? It only starts in second after coming to a stop. When you first take off after initial start up it does begin in first gear and yeas it will go well above 45.

wildbill 03-01-2009 12:53 PM

Was only tossing an idea out there.

Well not done much been busy at work. I have sent a few private messages to some of the members who said it sounds like the Governor Solenoid to see is they could either tell me were to get the upgraded solenoid that I have heard about and possibly a transmission manual/guide or advise me how to test and change this out. I have yet to get any reply's. So I did call a transmission shop that was recommend and described my problem and they said just come by and they would diagnose it for free. So I may just have to do that at least then I will know for sure (hopefully) what the problem is.

wildbill 03-11-2009 05:47 PM

What did ya find out??

wildbill 03-14-2009 11:43 PM

Update please.

MRaynor 03-22-2009 10:03 AM

Since there have been no updates in the last 12 days, we are closing this for now. If it needs to be reopened it can be.
