If automatic check fluid level. If manual clutch is bad or needs adjusted.

SOURCE: 1999 Dodge Ram 360 5.8 liter engine feels like transmission is sl

Hi, the problem you are having sounds like the differential needs replacing this can be expensive and hard work but not doing this can cause further damage to your vehicle so its better get it done sooner rather than later.
If on the other hand your only getting a vibration through the steering wheel then this could be that the wheels need balancing.
You should know which of the two problems you have if you need further assistance then just let me know ok

SOURCE: For some time the rpms

Had the same problem. In my case, the wiring harness was scraping against the vibrating motor and wore through the insulation. This caused the computer to think the throttle position sensor was bad and the RPMs were erratic. The engine light came on and indicated TPS. A short time later, more of the wires became damaged and the engine started missing cylinders. My problem was at the top rear of the engine where the harness runs over a metal stud (right behind the valve cover). Check your wiring harness. Not an easy find until you actually look for it specifically.

2010 Jeep Wrangler unlimited sport extreme shudder at 40 mph- if I press the gas-pedal and get the RPMs to rev, the shudder ceases, only to return once I am back down around 38 mph-41mph.

which engine the 3.6? v6?
that shudder is called MISFIRE.
get a tune up yet, even $1.49 spark plugs?
no its not the trans,
if it dont slip, its not trans, (see RPM races? that is slip or too low gear)
if it shifting to the right gears, its not the trans can you count them?
is the CEL lamp glowing or flashing driving, is yes, that means
scan me now. in fact scanning while it shudders, is like (magic)
why start guessing, do a tuneup,
then scan it.
if its is misfire the PCM will tell you what cylinder misfires.

are your spark plugs 6 years old, if yes, why?
going for 200k miles on them.?

Why won't it accelerate past 10 mph?

which engine? is traNS AUTOMATIC OR STICk?
IS TRANS STUCK IN 1ST GEAR?>
hot or cold? or both (engine temp)
is transmission slipping? (if stick clutch slip)
(eg: engine rpm races, and speed dont increase) called slip.
is it slipping?
or is engine misfiring? (tune up, times skipped?)
or is engine bogging, (feels like dragging 10,000 pounds)?
the engine light means, (get car serviced now)
or if savvy and a DIY person, it means SCAN it now.
easy huh>?

its trying to talk to you, so listen to it and scan it.
then post the DTC errors.
keep in mind we are deaf and blind here. so miss 99% of all key facts, and evidence on car. that your living mechanic sees , feels and hears.,
so dont expect magic here, there will never be that, here.

Transmission will not shift revs up to 4500

Trans is slipping, is it not?

Has to come out & be rebuilt

I have a 2002 4.6, just recently with no check engine light the truck has a huge loss of power, it feels like I'm pulling a trailer , it revs up but doesn't drive normal till 50 mph

Exhaust Converters last 12 to 14 years,
except for the folks on this web site

Check that out,may be partially blocked

When you say revs up, if you see any tach
movement & very little vehicle response,
then the trans is slipping & has to come out &
be rebuilt. Fluid change only gives you new fluid,
not a fix for anything,will just slip worse

You should have changed the O2 Sensors at
100,000
Clean MAF once a year

You know the routine,spark plugs etc

2002 rpm goes up to 2,000 rpm when i start it and around 40 mph it feels like it slips and goes up to 3,000 and stays goes up to 4500 rpm at 70 mph burning alot of gas and my engine just started rocking...

Sounds like the clutch, if a standard trans, needs to the be replaced. If it's an automatic, you need to take it in for diagnosis. Your trans. might be going bad, slipping, may just be low on fluid, if it is use some Lucas trans nonslpi and the proper tranny fluid to fill it to the proper level. Add the fluids and test drive bfore going to the shop, unless the tranny is fuul allready.

Transmission shifts between overdrive and third at

When the trans is cold it will shift almost normal as of now. If you keep driving it it will eventually slip when its cold. This is caused by worn out clutch plates
Your trans needs to be overhauled with a clutch rebuild kit
