torque converter clutch probably like mine
No it does not.
A Dodge Stratus shifting problem might begin because of dirty transmission fluid. This problem could also be caused by damage to the transmission due to wear and tear or low fluid.
try the transmission ouput speed sensor
you can't. the mileage signal is integral to the transmission shifting
For ease of shifting, dexron transmission fluid is best. the other alternative is 80/90w gear oil.
Try to change the transmission filter, or check the shifting linkage.
The real problem is manually shifting from gear to gear with an automatic transmission. If you are referring to the automatic upshift, there may be a problem with the EGR system or vacuum system.
change the transmission not the motor
There are sensors inside the trans, outside the trans, and on the engine that will all affect shifting.
O2 sensor or vacuum leak
My V10 2001 Dodge slow shifting was solved by replacing the catalytic converters. The ECU was detecting load/stress, like pulling a trailer up a hill. So it signaled to the transmission to not shift up to the next gear. After CAT replacement the shifting was fine. For me this was NOT a transmission issue.
Possible low on fluid and also need to reprogram transmission after fluid went down. It could have reset itself .
