ya mine is doing it too. in the hot weather it seems to do it again. at first it seemed to be better. I know how you feel mine does the same thing. I cant run 30mph it kicks out of gear at light throttle. dusty said he could send me another valve body, but it wont kick down as fast. I just run it in 2nd gear thru town.

Yep! when the weather or tranny get hot, the shifting gets worse. I'm convinced it's a "Dodge tranny design flaw", not a Smarty or aftermarket tranny flaw. I'm just glad to hear I'm not the only one.
