Trany? may gone out

mopar528dakota · 08-24-2008, 09:50 PM

Hey yall i was driving my 92 dodge dakota home today. I turned and pushed the gas but the truck would not go it would just rev. So i pull to the side of the road and shut the truck off and then start it back up and put it into gear, and it would go for about 10 to 25 yards and then just rev like before. Is my trany shot or something els

mopar528dakota · 08-24-2008, 11:41 PM

X2 on the filter change, then take it and have a shop flush the whole system. if the filter is clogged then there is still stuff throughout the rest of the system that could clog it again.

Sounds like it is your filter ,,, have a 02 pt and this past winter my trans guy said to change the filter and wala it was just that and with fresh fluid twice its been good to go ever since

hope its all that it is for you

I would recommend that you use Royal Purple Oil when refilling the trans. I just put a new filter and Royal Purple in my truck and it runs a lot nicer, but was not too bad before I changed it. Look into it, I will use nothing but that from now on.

mopar528dakota · 08-25-2008, 10:03 PM

I dont know if it was clear or not it was dark outside ans only had light from a cell phone

78D200 · 08-26-2008, 01:46 AM

i'd check it again during the day then just to be sure.

If you do need a rebuild, instead of regular ATF, I'd use B&M Trick Shift. I use that in my automatic tranny in my jeep and d200 and love it. I used Royal Purple in my manual tranny in my Dakota.

Commando · 08-26-2008, 05:10 AM

78D200, how do they compare?

78D200 · 08-26-2008, 02:47 PM

I know, its like compairing apples to oranges.

I use B&M fluid in a tranny that needed a rebuild and it actually helped out with improving the shifting and helped it to last a few more months.

A friend of mine tried Royal Purple in his 98 ram 1500 after a simple service and didn't notice any difference with how it shifted and stil had to change it after 25K miles.

I used Royal Purple in my manual tranny and rear axle in my 01 dakota and noticed that it actually rolled better and further down hills in neutral than it did with regular oil.

I guess I'm just saying that my friends I have had better luck with B&M Trick Shift in auto trannys and Royal Purple in manual trannys and axles. Just my .02

ef8340 · 08-26-2008, 04:33 PM

i agree 78 that b&m trick shift fliud is great stuff kinda expensive though but well worth it ,....... its in my dart!

Doc · 08-26-2008, 05:18 PM

Hey ef ... that B&M stuff ? .. is just basically a REdyed type-F fluid !!

well my jeep's tranny loves that REdyed type-F fluid. lol

Commando · 08-26-2008, 07:27 PM

I have been noticing in my 4 cylinder automatic truck that it shifts later then it did before, so faster acceleration. It also seems to slow down slower, coasts better.

I will try the royal purple in the manual Jeep when I get the 440 out of the back of it, and try it in the Cordoba when the 440 gets into that.

mopar528dakota · 08-27-2008, 05:00 AM

hey yall when i said the fluids were clear is was wrong its red, and for fluid im planning to put Royal Purple, do yall think it would be a good idey to put a shift kit in my truck and how much would it be

Commando · 08-27-2008, 05:05 AM

How did the filter look when/if you have pulled it out, was there stuff in it?

mopar528dakota · 08-27-2008, 05:06 AM

Dont to get off subject but how much power does a 1966 dodge charger have if it has a 440. I planning on buy it but i would like to know how much power it has.

mopar528dakota · 08-27-2008, 05:08 AM

I dont get the filter off yet but today or tommorrow i will

A 440 in a 66 Charger is not the best HP motor. I think it is rated at 350 hp ... but that is OVERrated.

challenger · 08-27-2008, 05:24 PM

hey M528D DOC is right as usuall and the 66 440 motor is 350hp (rated at 4400rpm's) with 10.1:1 comp: and has the same Torque as most @ 480@3200 as were most 440s--- but still if the car is in great shape and with alittle fine tuning it will be a good up and go car in MY book ---- is it the original motor that you no of ?

mopar528dakota · 08-28-2008, 01:50 AM

ya i think so

challenger · 08-28-2008, 04:33 PM

I would sure still get it if i was you if its still in fair condition
