Hello, I have a 2006 3500 with 265000 miles. I start a drive and within a couple of minutes I hear a whining noise the transmission shifts but when I stop at a traffic light and start moving the transmission slips, I can only accelerate to 30 mph and reach 3500 RPMs, if I pull over the transmission will not shift into reverse or drive, but if I turn the van off and restart I'm able to shift into drive and reverse and the cycle starts all over again. The dealership is telling I need a new transmission, I have read the great info on this forum about cleaning the N1 and N2 speed sensors and hope for the best.
My question is if I do clean the sensors and replace fluid and filter and it fixes the problem, being that I have 265000 miles on the van, should I still have the transmission replaced?
Any experience out there on how long a transmission will last if the cleaning is accomplished and fixes the problem?
Thank you in advance!
