Ok fellas here's what i found it is the 46RE trans.,it is the front clutch seal that's bad.
And it's getting worse it will barely shift at all now and i pulled the pan back down today and there are more filings in the pan than normal so thinking it's slowly taking the clutches out of it!
So here are my options,rebuild it,buy and already rebuilt one with a 12 month 12K warranty or buy a remanufactured trans. with a 3year 100K mile warranty.

Yep, that is just one of main problems of the 46RE is the front clutch seal. Damn 46RE transmissions! I'm just sitting and waiting for mine to start acting up. I change the fluid and filter every 15K miles just trying to keep it going as long as it will go. I tighten the clutch bands to specs while I change the fluid also. It's got over 45K and I'm knocking on wood. LOL!

On the options deal....just remember that these transmission usually don't make it to 100K. If you go to DodgeTalk.com and do some searching you will realize quickly how much hatred there is for the 46RE.
