#2 of 756 300C Transmission problems by 300c1 Dec 22, 2004 (8:37 am)
My 2005 has 5,000 miles and has developed a problem when normal driving shifts to low gear and does not go higher. In shop for second time and mechanic cannot find info on code the computer is displaying. Has anyone had trans problems on the 300 models???

#3 of 756 On my Short List by rayainsw Dec 22, 2004 (9:06 am)
The SRT-8 is currently on my Short List. I am eagerly (impatiently) awaiting published tests. Worst aspect (for me) appears to be the 19 mpg EPA highway estimate I have seen . . . Cheers, - Ray Hoping Job #1 holds to 10 Jan as scheduled . . .

Replying to: 300c1 (Dec 22, 2004 8:37 am) My experience with my Ford Explorer was a bad sensor, sending incorrect messages, thus the valves in the transmission were unable to respond. They overhauled it twice before getting right. Hope this is helpful. jegge

#7 of 756 Chrysler prices the SRT-8 @ $39,995 by bigelm Jan 04, 2005 (7:16 am)
I'm not sure if this link is against Edmunds policies...   http://www.autonews.com/images/news/11045.gif    DETROIT -- The 2005 Chrysler 300C SRT8, a high-performance version of the sedan, gets an extra 85 horsepower and a $6,275 price bump over the rear-drive 300C to $39,995, including a $625 destination charge.   The addition to the 300C lineup goes on sale in the spring, the Chrysler group said Monday. Exterior color choices are limited to silver or black.   SRT, for Street and Racing Technology, is the Chrysler group's designation for vehicles that have been modified by the factory for higher performance.   The main change for the 300C SRT8 is an increase in the displacement of the Hemi V-8 from 5.7 liters to 6.1 liters. That boosts the engine's output from 340 hp for the 5.7-liter unit to 425 hp for the 6.1-liter unit, an increase of 25 percent. Torque increases from 390 pounds-feet to 420 pounds-feet, a 7.7 percent increase.   Other changes to the engine include a higher compression ratio and redesigned cylinder heads and manifolds for better air flow. The engine block, crankshaft and connecting rods have been reinforced for greater strength.   Exterior changes include revised front and rear fascias, a decklid spoiler and body-color grille insert.

Replying to: 300c1 (Dec 22, 2004 8:37 am) I just picked up my 2005 300c on Jan. 1st and it had to be towed into the dealer today (only 189 miles on car) because the trany was not going into higher gears. It's rear was also making a loud & sudden grinding noise if more gas is given! I won't know for a couple of days the results. Does anyone have any further answers?
