Hard Shifting - 2004 Dodge Dakota - 3.7L uad Cab 4x4 - Automatic Transmission

Asked by zcholla Dec 22, 2014 at 11:02 AM about the 2004 Dodge Dakota Sport Quad Cab 4WD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

My truck is shifting very hard from 1st to 2nd gear. The other gears seem to be working
fine with no trouble in shifting. When shifting into 2nd it is very rough but seems pretty
normal going through the other gears. Could it be a problem with 4wd or the transmission
itself?

Someone else mentioned that it could be due to my vehicle switching back and forth from 4 wheel drive. They said it could get stuck or half engaged and cause a problem. Any info on this?

    It seems the 4 wheel drive engages by its self. Also at times the 4x4 low indicator light comes on by itself. Sometimes even when it doesn't feel engaged
