Hey Gang, I need your help/advice. 2001 300M 85,000 miles. Trans fluid changed at 76,000 miles. Car drives and shifts fine by my butt-o-meter! However, Service engine soon light came on with code 0700 (tranny fault). Reset. drove 5 miles and back it came. Dealer diagnosed as bad (slipping) torque converter. Tech noted "slippage in 4th gear- 3rd gear OK". Wants $1600 to replace. I did my search and saw another forum member stated his failed at 98,000 miles and changed for $600 at dealer. WTF? #1 should I trust the diagnosis since car feels fine and has never failed to go in gear or feel like slippage? #2 How much should TC cost? Big difference between 600 & 1600. Anyone else had it done and could it be a sensor rather than the TC. My car has easy highway miles. Thanks for any advise I can get. Bill

| Have not been able to post much recently, but my 2002 300M topped 73,000 miles today and I'm still very happy with it. Only occasional glitch is with the Check Engine light, which has come on a couple of times but for no reason. My Chrysler dealer (which has been terrific through the years) keeps checking on it. I'd like to see the car last to twice the present mileage, and from the looks of things that may be possible. I'm impressed with the durability described by so many posters. The car has also held good resale value. I wish they had kept on making them. | |

Hi, I am looking for a used chrysler 300M in the market. Here is one: Year: 2002 CHRYSLER 300M sedan Mileage: ~ 97000 miles Exterior Color: Tan Interior Color: Tan Body Style: Sedan Doors: Four Door Engine: 6 Cylinder Transmission: Automatic Drive Type: 2 wheel drive Stereo: Premium Sound System Fuel Type: Gasoline Air Conditioning, Cruise Control, Driver Air Bag, Leather Seats Passenger Air Bag, Power Door Locks , Power Steering Power Windows , Sunroof/Moonroof , Tilt Wheel The carfex report is clean (a rental car for its first year and a leasing car later). My question is: Do you think it is a deal or not? Do you think the mileage is too high or not? Will such milage cause some severe troubles? Should I have to change some important parts (timing belt, for example) at this milage if I buy it? Thanks

I have a 1999 300m and it has been an exceptional vehicle, but now it has been over heating since the days are hotter. I added radiator flush and after a days downtime I will began to drain. FYI, I notice that the last filler of coolant used prestone dex-cool and the antifreeze appeared to have broken down and slugging. I'll keep u posted on the results. |

Hey everyone, I'm brand new to this board. I have a 2000 M with 76,000 miles. It drives great and I love racing it against other people. I was wondering if anyone knew how I could get some extra horses (other than a Turbo charger and Nitrous) or if someone could give me the link to a site that would help. Thx in advance |

Replying to: bigmike5 (Nov 20, 2004 7:03 pm) I have a 2000 300M and the left driver's side door speaker is "rattling" so how did you replace yours? Do you have to take the door apart or just pop off the speaker screen and replace it that way? Hopefully it is not difficult and I will replace both door speakers. Where did you get the replacement ones? Thanks
