2002 sebring trans problem by checklst

My auto trans starting slipping at a stop light just a few miles ago. It started slipping as I took off, rpms went high but car bairley moved. I got it home just 2 miles and check the fluid and it was way over full,light pink, with lots of foam.
 
Could this be water in the trans fluid from a trans cooler leak??
If it is a water problem is only the 5qts in the pan effected or is the toque converter contaminated as well???
 
I did change the fluid and filter, 8 month ago and used the proper +4 fluid so I know the fluid should be a dark red and I check the fluid every week for a month of 2 just to make sure their was no leaks ect........
 
thanks in advance

Spent a lot of time fixing the Sebring transmissions.. Some common things to look for are:
 
1. If your speedo quits working, goes into limp in mode the output shaft sensor is out.. Easy replace under the drivers side fender front you have to remove the cover.. $25 for the sensor at Napa..
 
2. If your tach quits working the transmission input shaft sensor is bad.. BTW for all you guys with the shift sluggish and slams into gear that is one of the major causes.. Input sensor is a lot harder to get to so if you aren't the really mechanically inclined then maybe the the mechanic to do it..
 
3. Another common cause for the slam shifting is the shifter pack.. This thing has a bunch of solenoids and well if you have a bad one in the group is causes all kinds of shifting problems.
 
4. Take the pan off get a filter and pan gasket, grey permatex sealent and replace your filter and fluid with AFT4.. The cold weather leaking goes away and if shifts so much smoother..
 
Chrysler Dealerships hires a lot of young guys and well the little pac man tool doesn't replace good old fashion past history.. BTW if you want to reset the transmission history so it learns you vs the guy who owned the car before you just lift the battery connection for about 1 hr.. ECM will bleed off the capacitor keep alive voltage and well just like it rolled off the assy line.
 
Hope this helps...

You may have the trans over filled.. BTW that is as bad as under filled.. Sound like it is asperating.. The proper proceedure to check these is idle, fully warmed up, in park and the fluid shouldn't be all the way to the full mark.. Hydro fluid will expand with temp.. If you refilled it cold chances are you have too much in it.. BTW it will ruin the trans pretty fast as it will create too much presssure for the seals (leaking) and the actual flow may stop or slow way down causing it to self destruct..

2001 Transmission leaking by kidd414

Hello,
 
I have a 2001 Sebring, V6 with an auto stick transmission. Today, when my daughter went to leave school, the car trans was slipping real bad and was leaking fluid out of the front of the trans. Does anybody know what may be the cause/fix for this problem? Also, any ideas what it may cost at a trans shop to fix? And last, do you know any websites where I may be able to locate a used trans to swap out, if needed?
 
Thanks in advance for your help,

Hello,
I have a 2001 Chrysler Sebring that has almost 95,000 miles on it. Today, it started doing the same thing your car did while i was doing about 60 mph. Can you please tell me what was wrong with your car?
 
Thanks so much!

Well my 2001 is a coupe and has the V6 it acted like it was in neutral and wouldn't go back into gear. From what I was told by the mechanic was that some sort of bearing went out in the transmission, and because it is a sealed transmission they can't just go in and fix that part. So I ended up having to replace the transmission.

Well I didn't take mine to the dealership but to a mechanic that has worked on the car before he told me for a new aka rebuilt one it would run somewhere along the lines of 4k but I went with a used one that he found with low miles on it and it ran about 1,000 bucks so not bad. He told me the coupes were really good cars and that the transmission is mechanical and mechanical things will break down at some point. Hope this helps you.
