I have a 31' 77 Dodge Apollo motorhome. The transmission does not engage when it's cold or even cool outside. After the engine warms a bit the tranny works fine. We changed the screen 2 years ago and it was much improved. Now it's acting up again. Are there bands in this transmission?
Thanks,
Rick
Keep in mind that trans fluid expands significantly when it gets hot. What you are describing could be caused by low fluid due to a leak.
Start with the basics: fluid level and condition, check for pan leaks or leaks at the front of the transmission. If you find evidence of a trans fluid leak at the front of the trans and it isn't coming from the pan, chances are very good that you might as well just pull the trans and rebuild it.
