Ram tranny problems

The truck has 158,***. Motor is strong and no cancer holes. There is a little rust on the pass side rocker but maybe the size of a quarter and still solid(tried pushing my finger through it). I got it cheap and I figured it would need a little work. I think I'm going to try it myself that's how I learned how to do everything else. Thanks guys for all the help and hopefully within the next few weeks I will have a good truck worthy of pulling the dart around. There's no way I'm pulling the dart with a chevy or ford.

That's how I learned them too. Back when I was 17 the torquelite went out in my old 66 Chrysler so I got a serv. manual and yanked it out and rebuilt it in auto shop class. Worked great.
