my 98 had previously ran hot... stop and go traffic it wouldn't shift out of 2nd. once the car was off for about 10 mins it was ok a week later i had the trans flushed. its has been ok.
Have the trans computer checked for codes. If it isn't shifting, the computer will set a code that will show why.
may just be a transmission sensor - $20 part - start there...
It is inside the shifter assembly.
i had the same problem and it turned out to be a valve body in the transmission that was sticking. what ever that means idk to much about cars but i put some transmission cleaner in it and it hasn't giving me a problem for a little but now.
same thing happened on my 2008 dodge avenger,dealer said it was due to a part that melted and was replaced under warranty.
External on front of transmission housing under the air intake box.
It is probably a linkage problem
The manual shift transmission does not have a filter.
The shift solenoids are inside the transmission, on the valve body.
Inside tranny
The transmission solenoid are inside the transmission on the valve body.
The Dodge Stratus should solenoid can be found on the side of the transmission. The shift solenoid will be on the right side. The shift solenoid should be labeled as such.
2000 Dodge Ram Van need help my transmission down shifts and won't upshift
