Could be a valve problem in trans, or could be a sesnor malfunction in the trans. Have it looked at by a professional, it will save you a headache.
No, but too much pressure can cause gasket issues which are even worse.
bell end failure
Too much transmission fluid in the transmission can cause the transmission seals to leak. The transmission builds up pressure when going down the road. The added pressure can blow up they seals.
The first things to check are the air intake, the fuel pump/filter and the governor.
super hard shifts
check front seal it could be blown out
this happens to all dodges trucks and cars thar are automatics ok thiis is caused by your sensor in your transmission. go to tranmission shop and get them to fix it TRUST ME It sounds to me as if you need to replace the governor pressure sensor and the governor pressure solenoid. I had the same problem and it fixed it. this is a very common problem. Any dodge dealership will have the parts in stock.
Because a diesel requires a fuel sprayed under high pressure. Compression on most diesels is over 300 PSI. Injector pressure when the fuel is sprayed can be from 1500-2500 PSI. This is why you need to be careful around diesel lines. The pressure can cut your skin or inject fuel into your body. That can cause problems. A carb can't deliver any pressure.
In automatic transmission the slipage occure if the friction plate is lose it graping effect, or lack of oil, or imporper of grade for that transmission, but the most casuse if you have high millage on you car. low pressure could also can cause to unlock the drum in the transmission.
A cetane number is a rating given to diesel fuels. It is a rating of how fast the diesel fuel ignites under compression. In diesel engines, there are no spark plugs and the engine uses compression (pressure) to cause ignition.
If it is a 4 speed transmission, you will need to have the transmisson computer checked for codes to know causes. If a 3 speed transmission, you have a failure in the governor system inside the transmission.
diesel has a lower boiling point than antifreeze. as the engine heats up the diesel will vapourize and cause high pressure in your system. you will also has much worse temperature control in your engine.
