Hi guys. New to the forum. I have read a lot about the clutch and tranny issues on these trucks. Now, I'm part of the problem.
I purchased an 04 Ram SRT 10 in August. 13,000 miles when I first got the truck, 15,000 on it now. About a month ago, it started kicking out of reverse while I was backing up. It wouldn't do it all the time so I thought it was user error. I thought I wasn't getting it into gear all the way. Just before we were leaving for Thanksgiving, I couldn't even back into my spot. I ran it down to the dealership and told them the issue. The service agent tells me that if it's the tranny, it will be covered under the drive train warranty.
Monday I get the dreaded call, it is the tranny and there isn't a drive train warranty on the RAM SRT. $5000 to replace. That's 25% of the value of the truck!!!! OUCH!!!!
I read about the viper master and centerforce clutch replacements on the forum. Does anyone think that will fix this issue? Should I take it to a tranny shop and have them fix the exact issue for less $$? Or.....should I replace the tranny, the master, the clutch, and the fly wheel?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
