I was having transmission problems: missing shift points and holding until about 3.5-4k before shifting, slipping in and out of gear, sloppy shifts into second, bouncing of the rev limited 7 times under full acceleration and burning fluid.
I took it to the dealership (warranty) and they said that a piston failed and the tranny couldn't maintain pressure and in the process other things failed/burnt up with it.
Easy fix, right? Rebuild it, or just drop a new on in. Apparently this piston with an O-ring is on national back order and new 48REs that would be available contain this defected piston. My truck is now on week 3 of sitting in the shop, torn apart and they have no ideas for a time frame of getting it running.
Adding to the fun, I'm supposed to PCS to NJ next week. I called Dodge Corporate and am waiting a call back from the "case specialist", I'm hoping they can put some kind of priority on finding the parts or pay to ship my vehicle after they get it fixed.
Anybody here have any experience with this issue?
