Q: i have a 88 dodge dakota with the automatic tranny without od. first gear lags sometimes and takes a little too long to accelerate and shift into second gear but once it shifts all the other gears are fine. ive changed the filter and gasket in hopes that this would fix the problem but no luck. ive been told it could be the retractor spring. what exactly does the retractor spring do any ideas or tips are greatly appreciated. thanks- stumped http//community.webtv.net/anw97/welcometopeoplewho . 222 343813 14691-4803f6ce-845@storefull-3114.bay.webtv.net i have a 88 dodge dakota with the automatic tranny without od. first gear lags sometimes and takes a little too long to accelerate and shift into second gear but once it shifts all the other gears are fine. ive changed the filter and gasket in hopes that this would fix the problem but no luck. ive been told it could be the retractor spring. what exactly does the retractor spring do any ideas or tips are greatly appreciated. thanks- stumped http//community.webtv.net/anw97/welcometopeoplewho .
