Replying to: mudra (Feb 17, 2007 5:43 am) Point 1: ATF+3 is Chrysler's very specific semi-synthetic formulation and no amount of any additive in the world will make Dextron (of any flavor) compatible with ATF+3. Point 2: Even if they did put ATF+3 in you 2005 transmission, it will still get destroyed. Why? If you check your Owner's Manual, you will see that your van requires ATF+4, which is Chrysler's fully synthetic transmission fluid, and is backward compatible with ATF+3, not the otherway around. Summary: Get that stuff out of your transmission pronto or you'll find yourself paying upwards of $3,000 for a new transmission. Once you get your tranny flushed by the dealer, demand that Pep Boyz not only refund the money you paid, but that they also pay for your flush. Best Regards, Shipo |

Replying to: shipo (Jan 31, 2007 8:26 pm) When they did the oil change thay used a FRAM filter. The problem started immediately and I went to Chrysler and purchased a Chrysler filter for my transmission 2002 Town & Country 3.8. No change, problem still exsits. Since the oil change, 400 mi. have passed and still no change in condition. What do you think?

When driving with my cruise control on the transmission will jump in and out of overdrive. It only does this when I have the cruise control on.

Now, if you are tooling down the freeway at 65 mph, and the road is flat, and you have little load, and you have either the 3.3 or the 3.8 liter engine, then your transmission should lock the torque converter and keep it locked. Best Regards, Shipo |
