Coming home yesterday, I stopped at a light but when I took off, the truck seemed sluggish. I surmised it was stuck in 2nd. Would not shift to next gear or overdrive. Could leave from a stand still in first but manual upshift came late with no progression beyond second. Truck has shift kit and 2800 stall and never raced.
This truck has 41,000 miles on it. Changed out tranny fluid and filter 3 months ago to Redline C+ATF which I understand came with the truck when I first purchased it 3 years ago.
Drove the remaining 12 miles to the house in second and got out and smelled tranny fluid. No leaks. Drained it out and indeed stinks and slight brownish in color.
Ordered up new solenoid and sensor along with Mopar ATF+4 but concerned that the tranny may be beyond this. Any thoughts?
