I have a 94 Ram 1500 w/Auto tranny with o/d. The othere day it felt like the tranny was slipping when I was going uphill @ about 50 MPH. My mileage is at about 85k and don't know when the fluid/filter was changed last.

Any ideas?

Sounds like its time for a rebuild. Those overdrives go out at about 70k, so you did pretty good with 80 some k.

Do a service on the trans and go from there. Check the pan for any metal shavings. Then do the adjustments and try it out.

O/D going out? how much will that set me back?

Its not going to be cheap. Those 46re/518's are basically a 727 with an overdrive slapped on. So basically the o/d unit doesn't get enough fluid to keep cool and they go out. Its not going to be cheap. My dad's cost him about $2000 when he had his done.
