Transmission problem
1985 Dodge Truck V8 Four Wheel Drive Automatic

I have a 1985 dodge w100 and it runs and drives ok but when you put it in drive it wont move but if you put it in 1st gear then it will start driving fine then shift it to 2nd then into drive and it will drive and pull down the road great, then when you come to a stop sign it will not move in drive again until u shift it into 1st again and up to drive. i changed the trans. filter and oil and no change. any ideas what it could be??

It sounds like a stuck check ball in the valve body that needs manually overidden to work. The valve body will most likely need removed and cleaned and checked.

Is the valve body still the problem if it wont pull in any gear now?, not even reverse. one day it was driving fine and next day, it wont move at all

Yes it could be the problem, but you will need a trans mechanic to check it.
