What Is a Ram Manual Transmission?

Most Canadians drive vehicles with automatic transmissions, but certain Ram vehicles, including older versions of the Ram 1500, 2500, and 3500, have manual transmissions. Manual transmissions are also called stick-shifts, manual gearboxes, and standard transmissions. When driving a manual transmission vehicle, you must shift gears yourself with the clutch and gas pedals. The clutch is the first stage in the transmission and the gearbox is the second. The gearbox is at the rear of the engine, with the clutch between the gearbox and the engine. Manual transmissions typically range from three to six different gear ratios.

What are the common problems in a Ram manual transmission?

Ram trucks communicate power and ruggedness. But this doesn’t mean their transmissions are indestructible. Far from it, a little over a decade ago, when they were still Dodge Rams, there was a significant recall over failing transmissions. Ram transmissions have been much better since then, but there are some common issues.

Some Ram manual transmissions have made loud popping noises, indicating something has fallen out of place within the transmission. Others experience hard shifting. When you notice any transmission issues, it’s wise to bring your Ram to Mister Transmission for inspection as soon as possible.

How we diagnose transmission problems

If you come to us with a transmission problem, we’ll ask you to detail what you’ve been experiencing. Afterwards, we can inspect your Ram and run tests as necessary. Some common signs of Ram manual transmission problems include:

  • Slipping into neutral
  • Lack of acceleration
  • Hard shifting
  • Odd noises

Vanessa Orchard
Mandy's customer service was second to none. Not only did he make sure the work they could do on our truck got done in a timely manner, but also made arrangements for other services to be completed that are outside their scope. PLUS, he took care of getting our truck there and back! Like Mandy said, we hope we don't need to see him for that truck again, but if we need transmission services for any of our other vehicles, we'll be back! Thank you for your great customer service Mandy!

Akash Kachchhi
Highly recommended! I wasn't sure where to take my car for a transmission repair. Had quotes from other shops, which were all around the same, but no one was offering warranty on their work more than one year even after spending so much money. Only Mr. Mandeep offered me three years warranty, which makes me assured to go forward with the repair. Mr. Wes is really knowledgeable technician and he did a fantastic job, car works like new! Incredible staff that go above and beyond for their customers. Their customer service is great and the car was done on time.

I took the car in because I had issues with my transmission, not only did they fix it but they fixed my lower control arm and adjusted my brakes, these are problems that were missed on the safety, Dan also dealt with my warranty company as well as made sure I had the financing to get my car back with no out of pocket funds, they worked late making sure I had the car on the day they said, thank you Dan and Bob for all your hard work.
