Best Answer

A transmission that is not engaging fully when in drive might need a new shift solenoid. There is also a chance that a band is stretched or broken inside the transmission.

Your 99 ram 1500 won't shift from first even if you manually put it into drive at the transmission could it be the bands?

AnswerIt could be any number of things, such as bands (clutch pack, whatever you want to call it), hydraulic pump, valve body or just plane low on transmission fluid. Unfortunately anything that prevents the clutches from fully engaging. If the clutches slip, even a little, it can cause significant damage to the clutches and the transmission will fail completely. Check the fluid level first. If it's low, make sure it never happens again. The first and cheapest step is to have the computer checked for trouble codes.


How do you read the dipstick for transmission fluid for 1998 ford escort?

Drive the car long enough to fully warm up the transmission. Put the car in "Park", engage the parking brake and allow the engine to idle. Remove the dipstick for the transmission and wipe it clean. Fully reinstall, then remove the dipstick. Note the level of fluid...should be between the "add" and "full" marks, not be dark or smell burnt.

What would cause the automatic transmission not to shift until engine is fully warm?

Had problem with 86 Lincoln not shifting properly when cold. I assumed it was because the fluid was thicker and would be more affected by a clogged filter. I had the transmission flushed and the filter cleaned and it worked perfectly from then on.
