Most likely have a vacuum leak. Also check on your throttle body, there is a screw on there you can adjust. If the cap isn't popped open then chances are it's not that.
I think that transmission needs a band adjustment. My 92 3 liter Voyager with the 3 speed doesn't shift that slow, same goes for my mother's 96 3 liter Voyager.
i don't think the 41te has bands, well not since i last rebuilt one, it would be easier to jack up the main line pressure then it'll slam into gear pretty hard
That 1-2 shift is pretty lazy, no wonder the dodge trannys like to burn out. A gradual engagement of the clutchpack is nice for granny's comfort but horrible on the friction surfaces. My mom's astro van's 1st-2nd is so sudden the van lurches hard, but it has 217k on it by now.
The 1-2 shift on the 3-spd is very slow. Same story on my '89 Lebaron. Check out my accel vid. I'd assume you're right about it burning the clutches out faster with a slower change of gear like this, BUT I got over 180k miles out of the 3-spd in my '92 Acclaim. Would have lasted longer too, but car was wrecked.
jesus the 1st to 2nd gear is really lazy huh? my 2.5l 4cyl spirit is pretty bad atthat toobut not THAT bad. it just feels like ur getting punched lol.
I miss my old '94 Spirit V6 (A670 3-speed ATX).

Tbolt1000TForLife 1 year ago
@Tbolt1000TForLife only a little louder than stock, but it sounds alot better. Perfect for a daily driver.

+1 if it just started happening, its most likely a vac line. There aren't too many vac lines on these cars...

Yeah i do wish my '93 Lebaron had a 5-speed
i can still haul to 60 in about 8 seconds though, not too shabby.
Very nice Spirit

probably, the 4 speed has a much lower first gear. 5 speed beats all tho

you can see in my other vid, that 5000-6000 range is REALLY useful.

It looks about 9 seconds flat 0-60 in this vid. Not bad for not manually shifting
