Not sure but my 98 Town and Country did that last winter, turned out that my Trans fluid was extremely low because of a leak. Once i filled it to the proper level and and made sure it remained full, no problems. It still leaks slowly and i still have to make sure its filled. Beats a new transmission. sucks for the environment though, leaking and all.
On a 2006 Chrysler 300, the transmission dipstick is located towards the back of the engine bay, near the firewall. It's typically found on the driver's side, next to the engine and close to the transmission. To access it, you may need to remove any engine covers or components that obstruct your view. Always ensure the vehicle is on a level surface and the engine is warmed up before checking the transmission fluid level.
If your car has an automatic transmission, there will be a short dipstick near the front (radiator side) of the transmission. With the transmission warmed up (go for a short drive), park on a level surface, and with the transmission in park or neutral and engine running, pull the dipstick out and check the fluid level against the markings on the dipstick.
Does the torque converter lock? It should lock on both 3rd and 4th gear. How are the engine temperature and temp gauge? The 4T60-E requires decent temp information to run normally, othw it goes to "limp mode" and will not engage 4th nor lock. T
Mine is between 500 and 600 rpm's after the engine is warmed up.
Try draining the oil after the engine has warmed up first.
To add transmission fluid to a 2014 Chrysler 300 without a dipstick tube, first, locate the transmission fluid fill plug on the transmission housing. Use a funnel or a fluid pump to add the appropriate type of transmission fluid through the fill plug until it reaches the correct level. Make sure to check the fluid level using the designated method outlined in your owner's manual, as the process can vary slightly. Always ensure the vehicle is on a level surface and the engine is warmed up for accurate readings.
Needs a new thermostat
Trans fluid is always checked with car level and idling while warmed up.
Assuming you have an automatic transmission, the dipstick should be located toward the rear of the engine on the passenger side. With vehicle warmed up and parking brake applied the transmission fluid is checked with the transmission in neutral.
you fill it through the dipstick tube, get a funnel and pour away until the dipstick reads full with the engine in park and warmed up and running.
Are you sure that it's third it's not shifting into, and not fourth? The transmission is designed to not permit shifts into fourth (overdrive) until the engine and transmission have warmed up a bit.
Yes, check it on a level surface with the engine running and the gear shift selector in neutral or park. Check it after the engine has warmed up.
