Hi,
I've got lately Quad Cab 4*4 2000 Dakota with 3.9
V6 and auto.
Used it for couple of weeks and decided to do
perf mods to make it run faster. I read through
this forum and did most advertised.
Actually I did three things: 180 t-stat, Harland
Sharp 1.7 and V8 tb mod from 5.2 liter engine.

Now I have big problems with my transmission. If I
drive steady shifts are a bit more bulky than
before, but if I kick it down (or just speed up
intensively) then it revs up to limiter when
switching from second to third. Looks like it
starts switching, then switches to neutral and
hits limiter. If I disengage it shifts well.

I'm not in US and there are very few dodge trucks
here. Mechanichs are also not experienced in this
model.
I couldn't find v8 cable and when doing TB mod my
mechanic reused bracket from V6. I told him he
should adjust transmission valve cable and he
claims it is adjusted. But problem is still there.
I'm pretty sure it wasn't present before all mods.
Please help me. I have a long trip (about 1200 km)
planned end of next week and I feel very
uncomfortable with such transmission behavior.
Is V6 bracket incompatible with V8 body? How
should I modify V6 cable to work with V8 bracket?
Or may be there could be other cause for such
behavior?

Big thanks in advance.

Alex

2 things come to mind.
The cable or sensors,
Did you swap your sensors over or just use the ones
that were in the V8 TB?

I used my old v6 sensors.
it's working well now.
It was cable. Pulled out too Far forward.
Nomods your information is very important, but it is not what
I'm asking about.
