I have tried to find out the answer to this by searching through this site, but my problem has never really been determined. So I thought I would pose this to everyone out there.
I have a 1991 Dodge Stealth that had a spun bearing. I rebuilt the engine, which runs great. Now the transmission has issues. The car sat for 4 years because of the engine problem, It shifted fine for a little while, but the Over Drive didn't work(Would go into neutral), but without the OD on, it would work in the other 3 gears but not down shift when the pedal was floored. Now, it goes into gear fine when the car is started, but within 5 seconds, it disengages into neutral. If I turn the car off and back on, it again works for 5 seconds and goes into neutral. Has anyone had this issue and has had it fixed? I have about $1000.00 stuck into the car up to now and am determining whether to eat the losses and part the car out, or fix it. Any ideas would be appreciated. I am hoping it is the TCM and not the mechanics.

From how you decribed your problem, it sounds like the end clutches have went out. The end clutches are for the over drive gear. Search for IPT transmissions. They sell upgraded end clutches for about $100.

I appreciate the info. I was hoping it was a TCM issue and not a major overhaul one.
