Hi all,
I recently aquired a 98 dak with a 3.9 133,000 miles and a tranny problem. Until warmed up, she refuses to go into third gear unless I raise the rpms to about 4,000 which roughly takes me to 40 mph on level ground. Then, if I let off the gas and give it a moment it may (or may not) slip nicely into third. And its basically a matter of repeating this proceedure until it warms up which is, thankfully, only a matter of 5 - 10 minutes. But as the truck came with an obnoxiously loud muffler the problem is magnified many fold.
I have done some research here and elsewhere and it seems this issue is fairly common to these trucks. My questions are, One - as long as I am going to change the fluid and filter should I change the governor pressure sensor, and Two, other than the dealer where can I get a governor pressure sensor? I believe the speed sensor has been recently changed by the previous abuser/owner but I pulled it and cleaned it anyway - it looked pretty clean(no debris). Any advice would be greatly received and appreciated! Thanx, Dan
