(Vehicle is the RT model)Then it is very difficult to get it out of low.I followed the instructions on the shifting to get it out of low gear but it takes along time.
This has been a Dodge problem for over 18 years.
Spent many days studying this can 't find a solution. So I disconnected the TCM . Need help. thank you.

Hello,

It sounds like you have a weak input shaft speed or line sensor. We should run the codes to see what comes up.
