Intermittant noise and trans problem. - 5/21/2007 11:01:28 PM    ziggy   Posts: 10 Joined: 5/9/2007 Status: offline I have a very intermittant problem with my 2002 Durango R/T. (5.9). This happens about once a week and I drive every day. I get a heavy whooshing noise like a fan, and either my Durango will not go anywhere at all, or will feel like it is slipping terribly. Then the trans engages after about a couple of minutes of this and no problems for awhile. I had a complete trans service two weeks ago. They found no code issues, and said it looked good. Obviously it is not. It is still covered under the Dodge 8 year/80,000 mile warranty. Does it need a new trans or what?? I tried my best to describe the problem to the local dealership when I took it in two weeks ago. They obviously could not duplicate this problem during a 20 minute test drive. Thanks people! < Message edited by ziggy -- 5/21/2007 11:02:42 PM > Post #: 1

If it does you may have a drain back problem. Thats where fluid drain back into the torque converter. If this is what you are feeing let the truck warm up a little longer before driving. _____________________________ Master Chassis tech, Transmission Automatic and Manual and Suspensions.

What is weird is the noise, it sounds like a very loud fan. (in reply to master tech) Post #: 5

So basically something is not engaging. Did they adjust the bands?
