Transmission 'slips' when cold

2000 dakota w/ 3.9l auto quad 2wd 165 km (115 miles)
-had slippage going from 2nd to 3rd when cold...occasionally
-got codes:
1757 (gov. pressure above 3psi in gear w/ 0 mph)
1762 gov. pressure sensor offset (volts too high or low)
-had a tranny flush/filter change...+ changed Gov Pressure Sensor & transducer...at a Chrysler dealership)

-now when cold ONLY...won't shift into 3rd gear (slips....like it disengages 2nd, but won't re-engage in 3rd)....nearly everytime....goes away after 10 minutes or so....shifts fine.....shop can't replicate...'suggest a rebuild for $2600...due to potential seal failure..oil seepage'

-help!!!!!
-throttle position sensor??

    I do not........please tell me more. Any other symptoms that would lead/confirm that the pump is defective?
    -I just returned from a 400 km trip, and things seems to shift very well...even in the morning when cold.......knock on wood...
    -is there a 'break-in' period after the service work...to retrain the computer how to shift?

    -it seemed to 'stick' in 2nd this morning again (i.e. high revs..typical of the dakota), then it shifted out of 2nd..then just revved up....just not wanting to go into 3rd...for 30-40 seconds...til it warmed up
    -this is after about 3-4 minutes of driving...going up through the gears once...then downshifts (as I slow to go around my country corners) it goes out....not wanting to go back into 3rd when asked to
    ....kinda coast for a bit...then it engages again.....not really a 'slip'...just a 'non-engagement'
    -hope my low-tech terminology isn't just confusing you
    -this is what is began to do immediately following the service work described above (filter, fluid, flush, transducer and Gov. pressure sensor-as indicated by obd 2 codes)

    How do you know the trans oil pump isn't defective and has low pressure? it sounds like that may be the problem.

SOURCE: dodge ram 1500 2001 codes coming up 0753 1757 1762

0753 is shift solenoid A, electrical problem.as for the other codes they should start with a zero not a one. if they started with a 0757 that means shift solenoid B,stuck in on position. 0762 means shift solenoid C,stuck in on position. 0765 means shift solenoid D,malfunction

I have had to replace the governor on those dodge transmissions, and there is a filtering metal mesh screen around the governor inlet port that seems to always get plugged up with small metal shavings. The governor is located under the transmission pan to the rear of the main valve body.

Is the 1-2 shift high also? When you had the valve body off did you check the screens on the governor solenoid and the 3-4 shift solenoid? These tend to plug up.

I have a 2001 Montero Sport 3.0 2WD. My service engine light came on so I went to Advance Auto for a diagnostics. The diagnostics showed that the shift solenoid was bad, but I cannot find the item anywhere...

the guys who work at advance and autozone are not mechanics, last week they were selling pizza
and the week before that they were delivering newspapers. You need to take your car to a transmission shop sooner rather than later and have its problem diagnosed. Slipping on any transmission is not a good sign and you may well be looking at a rebuild.

1996 Nissan Terrano diesel automatic. How and when can you change High to Low ratio? What does the toggleA/T button, which has 2 seetings - power and hold, do? What does the dial which has 3 positions -...

High to low /low to high ratio, you will need to be stopped and the transmission in neutral for this to be changed.
The 2wd - Auto - Lock switch can be switched at any time, as it operates an electromagnetic clutch - 2wd is rear wheels driving only - Auto - is to automatically engage 4wd when wheel slippage is detected (this also happens when turning at intersections, due to the inside wheels having a shorter path to the outside wheels, and can give a binding effect on sealed roads (I don't drive with it in auto on sealed roads) auto is excellent if you get, or expect wheel spin from an intersection when wet, just flick it on before or when you have wheel spin, also on gravel roads, having it on auto will greatly reduce the sliding of the back end, and make the car noticeably more stable.
Lock - this locks the differential, which further reduces wheel spin, when in mud / snow, but this will also make the car not want to turn corners, due to it resisting the different distances traveled by the inside and outside wheels.
A/T switch - this actually has 3 positions, and changes the shifting points of the automatic transmission - the middle is normal - Hold is to hold the gear longer, to improve fuel economy, and not change down (kick down) as quickly - Power has the opposite effect, it makes the transmission change down sooner under acceleration.
Also the O/D (overdrive) button on the side of the Tee shift lever, is to engage / disengage overdrive (5th gear) - never do heavy towing in overdrive, this will cook the transmission and overheat the engine (due to the radiator being used as a heat exchanger for the transmission fluid.
Another little quirk - if the transmission light starts flashing every 40 to 50 km, this can indicate that the wheels are different diameters (a flat tyre, or tyres have been swapped around and the spare is more or less worn than the other tyres), the computer will pickup that the wheels are turning at different speeds.
When cold, it is normal for the transmission to stay in 3rd (2-3 minutes of driving), until it has warmed up, and then stay in 4th for a few more km's (5-6 minutes), before it has warmed up enough to change into 5th (overdrive).

My 2000 Toyota 4runner V6 125k miles automatic transmission started slipping on cold starts especially in the morning. After starting up, putting in drive and pressing the gas pedal first gear doesn't...

Low transmission fluid is usually the only reason power engages late or slippage occurs. But changing the transmission fluid again would not hurt. The stuff really shouldn't deteriorate like engine oil. Be sure to not run the vehicle many miles until the problem is completely resolved < 100 miles. One easy check would be to make sure the transmission lines are well connected and maintain pressure as well as fluid level. The good thing is that Toyota has a reputation of very good transmissions.

Prelude 2.2 vti W reg auto automatic tiptronic gearbox slipping

Hi there. Although the Dealer has changed the oil, did they do a 'Stall Test' whilst the gearbox was cold and again when at normal running temperture? If not, that's what they must do firstly. This will identify whether you have a slipping clutch/s. The Honda autobox also includes what is known as accumulators - these control how each clutch is engaged during acceleration. For example, if you are accelerating slighly/smoothly, you want each gear to be engaged gently and smoothly, whereas, when accelerating hard, you need the gear engaged quickly and hard to aviod clutch slippage. Thus, the fact that you are experiencing a hard engagement might mean that an accumulator/s is seized. If that's the case, it will mean that the autobox will need stripping, cleaning and be checked for worn components. Hope this helps, Scottech.
