Drove an 8 sod ram yesterday...

[DavidRam]

I have a 5 speed.

Can I please still hang out with you guys?

Lol!

Do they sell one more speed to at least make it 6?!

 

[hemihustlin]

Is it like the chargers and journeys with the tube but no dipstick, go buy the dipstick at the dealer and a scan tool to see the trans temp so you can correlate that with the mm on the stick and a graph that you print out off alldata lol

 

[DavidRam]

I have a dip stick.

Uuhhh huhh huh... heh heee heh... you said dip stick...

The 6 speed is also sealed.

Umm, mine has dipstick and I've already changed..



A lot of new trannys are sealed these days, which I don't like.

I thought I read somewhere that 8 speed trans fluid doesnt need to be changed. It last a lifetime...
Since its SEALED

Don't worry, just let them keep thinking they have a 6 speed..

What they really don't know is it started with 4 speeds.. haaha

Hey, you like what you like. I love my v6 with the 8 speed. To me it feels like I'm driving a semi because of all the gears. They are really smooth. Can't wait to swap that trans oil with some synthetic and see the difference.

It already has synthetic in it.

Even if it didn't already come with synthetic in it how much difference is it really going to make? It's like changing your engine oil to synthetic, it makes you all warm and fuzzy but you never notice a difference. (yes I know some hemi engines do tick and switching helps, I was more referring to his v6).

 

[BULL55]

Pushing 1300 miles on my 5.7 8 speed now,with a 3.21 gearing in the rear. It is smooth as silk shifting and the power band good at any speed. I am really happy so far!

Always degenerates into a ******' contest if given enough time! Pretty soon, we're going to have a Mack driver with an 18 speed come on and tell us all to kiss his dipstick.

I just hope they don't put those nissan-type transmissions in these vehicles..ever.

drove this chick home in her maxima once, i was like why isnt this getting outta first gear? why am i still in first gear?

Are you referring to a cvt?

 

[BlownGP]

Are you referring to a cvt?

Yes, that would be a CVT..

Pretty wild driving one, kept waiting for it to shift. lol
But I don't know what would cost more the replace though. A CVT or the 8 Speed??

 

[mmwaggie]

You don't feel shifts in a CVT? I've never been in a car with one.

 

[loveracing1988]

Think of a quad or a snowmobile. The gearing is infinite so there are no perceivable gear changes.

 

[NYCruiser]

Yup. Cvt. one long constantly varying gear. Had a buddy with a five year old Audi a4 that blew one as part of a bottom out collision and the insurance totaled the car rather than replace it.

My wife's Altima has a CVT
It's pretty cool
You can be accelerating and stay at the same rpm as your speed rises

any idea what the belts run? i know it's like $400 on my ATV so i'm guessing between there and $1000 if not more

i wouldn't want a CVT on a car tho, never know when that belt is gonna go and if they get wet you're not going anywhere

 

[Hemi395]

I think they use some sort of a chain on some and conical gears on others...

chain would be even worse, it'll probably last longer sure but that's gonna be dam expensive to replace
