So while driving home today all of the sudden the truck kicks out of overdrive and won't go back in. So the O/D Off light is on constantly. then as I'm backing into my driveway i can hear a rattle. Tranny has a nasty rattle in all gears except park and neutral. Then when I got out I could smell it. Just frikken great. Anyhow, any advice or thoughts before I get bent over by a mechanic would be great. [WTF]

Oil was last changed about 50k miles ago. Still nice and red tho and doesn't smell burnt at all. Messed with it a little this morning and it is squealing. Not sure if these trannys have belts or not, but if so I think one may be toast. Got a quote from dodge on a replacement tranny at right about $2600. Not sure what a rebuild is gonna cost yet, gonna check with the shops on monday.

ah that sucks man, i know where i bought my dakota from i bought their extended warranty for 50$ more a month, and all i pay on anything that happens to the truck if its covered is 50$, including the tranny, so im set, look around at other places, i know dealers are always really expensive. such as for a tune up for my dakota it woulda cost me 220$. kinda pathetic when you can buy everything for 40$ and have it done in a hour. so keep looking around you might find something cheaper. and saving money is always good =)

Yeah I plan on looking around a bit. If I could find a decent price on a replacement tranny I would just do the swap myself

Well, going for the rebuild. Had a mechanic look at it and it was overheating and the governor pressure was changing eratically. So far the estimate is around $1700. Hopefully this will last me a while.
