The new dodge trans need an anti foam additive in the fluid and you need to
use the right trans fluid .My '97 had the same problem when new and I found
out latter that prior to delivery it was repaired (leak at the trans pan)
but the boys over at a five star dealer forgot to put a anti foam it. You
can buy this stuff at your dodge dealer or aftermarket, aftermarket is hard
to find. Anti foam and it stopped just don't over fill it, a trans cooler
helps this as well. It's simple the fluid foams and pressure drops.

Subject: DML: RE: Shifting Problem or Just me?
>Help,
>>>I am basically illiterate when it comes to working on my truck but am
slowly
learning through the DML. I have a question concerning my 2001 CC R/T. It
seems that if I floor it from a dead stop it doesn't want to shift out of
first. I tried this last night and it went to around 6k rpm's before I
backed it off to 2k rpm's and it shifted. My truck has done this a couple
of times before. Shouldn't it shift by itself? I have never had this
happen on any other vehicle that I have owned. Any suggestions? The only
modifications I have done to the engine is to add an intense performance
stage II intake.
TIA,
John Miller
01 Black CC R/T
