It could be the overdrive unit:( Have you had the fluid changed
lately? This could help. The fluid flow to the OD unit is not that
great with the Dakota trans (at least '93 and earlier). Also, this
gives you a chance to see how much metal is in the pan.
When mine went bad, I started to noticed a slight increase in RPM when
it did shift to overdrive, compared to what I was used to.
I spent $500 for a Junk Yard trans. Rebuild was quoted at $1,300 or so.
