shuttles between first and second. most of the time you have to lift on throttle to get it to shift.

RookieTried replacing the pressure sensor and solenoid, turned out that the transmission was lunched. Required rebuilding at a cost of $1500 which included a new heavy duty torque convertor, Ouch. Just bought the truck 3000 miles before.

Report #7little beast, 2005 Dodge Ram 2500, 4WD, 222,000 mi
Rookietruck lurches when under heavy towing load on goose neck trailer. Worse when decelerating. long load on trailer reduces the lurching. seems that if the load is just right lurching is almost non-existent. I have check drive shaft. Installed air booster on rear to better align drive shaft to rear end, but has not helped

At slower speeds around 12 to 18 mph, I experience a slipping feeling in the transmission. It feels like it is searching for a gear and doesn't lock up positively into second gear.
