The Ram 1500 8 speed transmission problems are won't shift and shudders. The transmission is one of the most important parts of the vehicle. You will come into problems at some point. You may experience shudders. Hard shifts could come up and that is not good. There might be jerking. The gears may become stuck. The transmission may slip. If the transmission fluid leaks, that needs to be solved quickly. Delayed shifts can cause acceleration issues. The transmission fluid needs to be replaced every 30,000 to 60,000 miles. Along with fluid changes, terrible sounds will come from the transmission. Old transmission fluid will be awful to the ear. A worn out torque converter will cause a headache.

I've been experiancing an issue with the kick down portion of the 8 speed. Slowing for a light or stop, it seems like the truck will stick in a higher gear then POP (with a physical jerk to the truck) and then be back to normal. When this happens, it "sometimes" will cause the AC to stop completely then a minute later that will slowly power back up.
