I have a 2001 Chrysler 300M with the High Performance 3.5 liter engine and the Performance Handling Package. The car has over 160k miles. My transmission shudders as well. A few mechanics have speculated that it could be the torque converter starting to fail, or the overall transmission failing. I had the pan removed and inspected. Allot of metal debris was found. They adjusted the few belts they could, replaced the fluid and filter. The problem is less severe but still exists during heavy acceleration as well as cruising and going into passing gear at 50 mph.
Chrysler competes in the affordable luxury segment.
your transmission is having problems by the sound of it. go to a transmission shop.
There is no transmission dip stick for a manual transmission. You have to get under the car, remove the filler plug, and either look in the hole or stick your finger in to see how much fluid is in there.WTH? How do you fill it? Whats so hard about having a filler neck? Does anyone know the best way to fill? where is the filler plug?
ATF+4 and nothing else!!!!! Anything else will absolutley kill the transmission especially mercon dexron. It must say ATF+4!!!! DO NOT TAKE ANY OTHER ANSWER FROM ANYONE NO MATTER WHAT THEIR REPUTATION IS!!!!! It is specially formulated for sensative chrysler components and some japanese models with special friction modifiers, inhibitors etc. chrysler also recommends using the same fluid as power steering fluid.
I have 2009 Corolla LE & mine does this sometimes as well. Not everytime I stop, but a few times a week. The shuddering is annoying. Anyone that works as a Toyota technician know what this is & the cure?
Yes,they all had electrical problems. 1,the engine ecu 2,the radio controls on the steering wheel 3,the transmission shift program
yeah... i have a 2007 Chrysler sebring, MY issue was a recall on the tire pressure sensors.... apparently they can cause a short circut and cause inoperative cruise control and engine stalling... Chrysler refuses to fix the car. at all.. if its not in warranty it wont get fixed for fre.. the recall number is H07 also you can go to the crysler web site to see if your vehicle is affected by this recall.
It is interference.
Absolutely, positively, not. Use noting but genuine Honda ATF. Do not let anyone tell you different. You will experience shifting problems and possible transmission damage if you use any other fluid including any Multi-Vehicle fluid.
Usually a malfunction switch. The switch works on resistance that is read by the BCM then it turns on the wipers and selects the speed.
This is a fairly common problem. If you do a search at www.sebringclub.com in the "how to" section you should find your answer complete with pictures. Irritating isn't it. Anon
having a problem with my rebuilt trans, i put it in everything right but its leaking from the or around sensor on the panssager side
