Here is a video of my issue ive been trying to figure out-

When i manually shift to first it does seem ALOT more powerful - is the TCM shifting possibly jacked up? im beyond stumped been at this for 2 years now.

Probably a valve body issue in the trans

Mine was shifting all fd up. Bad idle,etc. When I swapped my motor I had a Torque converter labeled 05 Durango on it. Junkyard crap. I got a rebuilt torque converter from advanced auto. Shifts better and idle. But I have issues. I think its the torque converter clutch solenoid that is in the transmission.They are a plastic plunger that's known for going out.Rebuilds usually over bore them and install a sleeve with an aluminum plunger.Ill deal with it until I swap the tranny.
