I've been having lots of trouble with my tranny, i have to press very lightly&go very slowly to reverse.While driving it won't shift unless i get it up to at lest 3rpm, let go of the gas until it reaches 2rpm and i feel it shift, then hit the gas again so i can speed up. The other day i got in and drove it to the gas station then to the bank. At the bank there were only spots that would require me to reverse out. I had to drive around a bit first because i guess it needed to be a little warmed up before it could reverse.so i back up into the parking spot and go into the bank for about 25 min. When i come out my battery had died. It was very cold that morning so i'm guessing that may be why it died.ihad someone jump me and i tried to put it into drive but nothing happened. The shifter moves through all the gears but the truck doesn't actually shift. Each gear has a different feel everything it shifts and there was no change. I even tried the 4x4 and that's wasn't working either(it has a certain feel and sound when i drop it in 4wheel). I have had the truck only for about 2 months.
