Asked by DONMANKIND Oct 10, 2013 at 03:36 AM about the 2003 Dodge Durango SXT 4WD
Question type: Maintenance & Repair
My 2003 dodge durango 4.7,4x4. Will always take off slugishly as if in 3rd shift. This problem started 5wks ago. anytime i start shifting it manually from 1 it move out well then manually to 2 it moves well and manually to D it goes, to me the D looks like picking from 3 and i never know if it eventually gets to 4th shift. I realise that the trans starts shifting from 3rd gear on its own.about 6 days ago it shifted well on its own for two days and went back again to its 3rd taking off style. can somebody help pleaseeee.

Transmission Shift solenoid, fluid level, shift linage, valve body or bands being an internal issue with the transmission, can be possibilities. You'll have to take the truck into a mechanic/ trans shop for diagnosis.

Yes about when it started I realized I pour to much trans oil into the trans and this made it over guage up till now, secondly whenever I want to take off even in 1 the engine tends to shrug vibrate a bit before going. Thank for your response.

just realised i didnt say the engine cuts off anytime the truck is about to stand still after slowing down.or when am slowly making a turn. while idling the rps goes up and down atimes at 700 then back to 500 and anytime abit below 500 it cuts off.

How is the service history ? Sounds like many things need to be serviced. If you don´t do it your self take to dealer or a shop you trust and have it properly serviced.

I have a 2004 Dodge Durango. While driving, I lost all power to the wheels, yet all electrical and engine seemed to be operating. Pulled over, and it would not move , regardless of what gear I put it in ( N, R, D, 1, 2 ) My first guess is the transmission went out, but could there be a sensor or other cause for this. When I accelerate, I hear the engine, but still have no movement in any gear. 5 answers
