Tranny or clutch problem..Diagnostic Flow Chart

From : marsh monster

Q: ======= snip from root@localhost adam ive got a 99 dakota with the 3.9l v6 manual trans. 86k+ miles shifting into second gear has become problematic both up and down. sometimes it hangs up and is difficult to shift and sometimes it grinds a little. this problem is most apparent when the engine is cold and especially when the weather is cold. when things warm up it shifts a little easier though i still find myself double-clutching into second gear. ===== ===== == adam for a more explicit explanation on the actual problem and a diagnostic flow chart to go by... try this if you want to narrow it down yer self.... everett villezarez chrysler driveline engineering and design functions http//evilzz.com/evilzz/specialinvitation.html hopefully its what you need. marsh monster .
