Replying to: craigs242 (Oct 07, 2008 8:48 am) One hundred and eighty pounds of torque? Is that foot-pounds or inch-pounds? If foot-pounds, that sounds rather high. Where are you getting torque specification from?   Another thought is that you have a broken motor mount or two, and when you accelerate, your engine and transmission come out of alignment and damage the CV joint.   Best regards, Shipo

Replying to: craigs242 (Oct 07, 2008 8:48 am) sounds to me like your mounts are bad causing your axle to snap . that torgue specification sounds awfully tight not sure what engine your referring to but i will say as the previous poster suggested you need to check all of the motor mounts and trans mounts. if there brittle id replace them if you don't breaking axles will be the least of your problems.if one mount fails it causes stress on the others and can lead to transmission failure(it has happened to me) that would be my guess grab a floor jack and a scrap piece of wood and push up on the motor and trans a little to see if there is seperation it the mounts if so they need replaced im willing to bet there original too. good luck
#1673 of 1833 transmission trouble.. by 727 Oct 13, 2008 (11:00 am)
Hi all    I own a Chrysler Grand Voyager 3.3 automatic -93, it has 300.000 kms on the clock..  yeah, its old, i know ;o) but i've grown pretty attached to it ;o)    Anyway. Today, out of fhe blue. It will not change gears!! I can drive it, but it is stuck in 2. or 3. And at the same time, the speedometer went dead. The  transmissionfluid is ok.    Any good ideas?    Best regards, 727 Denmark

Replying to: vcheng (Oct 13, 2008 11:04 am) Thanks..  do they have another name..? Because i can't find them in the Haynes manual.    727 :o)
#1676 of 1833 No, that's ... by vcheng Oct 14, 2008 (5:37 am)
.. what they're called. There are two, and are easily located at the front and side of the transmission following the wiring harness. One is just below the solenoid pack. Any Autozone (or comparable store) should have them for about $35 each.   Good Luck.
#1677 of 1833 93' T and transmission problem by darthfader911 Oct 14, 2008 (9:59 am)
I have a 93 T/C, 125K miles, but new trans. by chrysler at 45K. I'm out of town and wife calls and said the car gears went into "nuetral" and no motion in any gear. When I got home I confirmed the problem. Had towed to the closest trans shop. I am not trusting them for several reasons (word of mouth/reputation) After 3 days they said it was a stripped gear, needs new tranny. I have read much of the forum and found several comments of what else it "could be". Please advise what I should ask the trans. shop. What intelligent questions I should ask and what answers I should get. Are there codes, did they check solenoid, EATX, ground wires, etc. Please give me a list and try to make me a smart consumer before I get had for a $$$ repair. If new tranny, what do I need to ask?
