Both seem loose. They won't turn in or out by hand but they wiggle. I can move the one with the braided hose forward and back about 1/8" and the bleed screw moves a lot, about 1/4". It's really loose. Also the bleed is wet with fluid like there is some seepage. The one with the braided...

Something else I noticed when I was under the truck checking out the tranny, Neither the bleeder nor the braided line seem very solidly attached. I can juggle them quite a bit. Is that normal? -t

After closer investigation, here's what I'm finding: The fluid level is good and is clear. -->However, I am finding that the clutch is NOT fully disengaging. That's why I can't change gears when the engine is running. The pedal goes halfway to the floor before I feel any pressure and...

:rock: Thanks. I really appreaciate your help and you taking time to type up these instructions. I'll print them out and take them with me to check it out. I searched the site for "transmission problems" earlier and didn't really find too much. Perhaps I used the wrong phrase to search...

I've not noticed any leakage but I haven't had a chance to check it very closely yet. I've been covered up at work, but I'm going to get under the truck this weekend and check it out. Sounds like these are the things to do: Check the Slave cyl and bleed the system. 1. Where would I...

With the engine off, it seems to release ok. Just doesn't seem to release when the engine is running. -t

I have a 2005 Ram SRT-10 RC with manual tranny and less than 6000 miles It has never been abused. It is now having transmission troubles. When I pulled it into the drive way and started to back up it wouldn't go into reverse. Then it wouldn't go into first without difficulty. I thought I...

Been there. Doing that. Been there. Doing that. I know the misery you're going through. I have B-Cell Lymphoma. Chemo is a real drag. I carry a small kitchen garbage can with me when I'm doing chemo. -- the nausea, vomitting are so bad. It made my mouth so sore I could only eat...

Before I bought my truck, I test drove both the Quad Cab and the Regular Cab. The QC that I drove was definately more slugish. At the time, I attributed it to the extra weight of the QC. It may also be detuned to protect the automatic transmission. The RC on the other hand seemed to be...

That same method worked well on a Turbo Eclipse I once knew :) -t

I installed the EBC Green pads and slotted rotors on my sons 2002 Camaro. The EBCs seem to work well for him. Yes, brake dust is really bad on the fronts. Reminds me of those cheap brake pads you get at the quickie/budget brake places. -TDay.

Exactly! After I've driven one of my other vehicles and then get back into the Dodge, it takes me a couple jerky stops to get back used to the brakes. -TDay.

My 05 RC has really touchy brakes. Is that normal? Before I bought my truck, I test drove both a quad cab and a regular cab. The quad cab brakes felt "normal", but the RC brakes seemed super sensitive (takes very little pedal effort to stop). -TDay.

I rarely watch football. I watched a game once when I was in highschool but in the 40 years since then, I haven't had much interest in it. 8) -tday.

Thanks Guys! I'll take action as soon as I get my pennies saved up. -t
