Snap ring is broken that holds the knob on. Turn the knob to see if it drops down. If this is not the problem it will be the mechanism in the handle.

Transmission on your dodge ram is slow to engage when it is cold?

There is a service bulletin out on this problem (NUMBER: 21-015-05, GROUP: Transmission, DATE: September 01, 2005). It seems that fluid will drain from the torque converter after the vehicle sets awhile causing the slow to engage problem. According to Dodge, while it causes customer concern, it is not detrimental to the transmission. There is a new version of a transmission cooler filter which when installed mitigates the problem.

Is it possible that there is a loose cable from the shifter to the transmission making the car unable to tell which gear it is in?

That is certainly a possibility. Shifter linkage can cause problems with transmissions but you cannot know for certain without getting a little closer to the problem. If the transmission shifts out of and back into park and the wheels actually lock then it's PROBABLY not a shift linkage problem. If you aren't mechanically inclined you may need to take the vehicle to a specialist. If the transmission is shifting out of park normally but the transmission will not engage, you probably have something wrong with the transmission, such as the hydraulic pump, internal valve body, clutch pack or any of a number of other potential problems. Good luck.


How do you engage low range on 94 Eddie Bauer bronco with push button?

With the engine running , and your foot on the brake pedal , shift to neutral , select 4x4 low and then put transmission in gear ( for use on surfaces that allow " slippage " such as gravel etc . ) To select 4x4 low the transmission must be in neutral to engage / disengage


How do I get my 1994 Chevy blazer's 4whl dr button to function?

If the button is not working, might be a vacuum line problem. Vacuum lines engage the 4x4, might need to check the lines to the 4x4 transfer case.
