Chrysler has a deal for military veterans. If you present your DD214, they will give you an additional $500 credit and a 3 year service contract. The only catch is the military 3 year service contract doesn't include the free loaner car. I previously received a dealer provided 3 year service contract and it included the loaner car. It just depends which service contract you get. The standard 3/36 warranty does not include a loaner car. I bought one of the last new 08 Pacs available to receive the lifetime powertrain warranty. I only hope Chrysler is around long enough to honor it.

Even though I've been out since 1992, they will give me this discount? Are you saying they GIVE you a 3 year warranty or offer a $500 credit towards the costs of the warranty? Or was this applied toward the purchase of your new car?

Hard shifting into 2nd gear

I have an '04 Pac with 130k miles. It has started a problem where it sometimes shifts hard into 2nd gear. After that it is smooth in the upper gears. The mechanic doesn't seem to have an idea yet. Reading through these posts, now I'm worried about motor mounts and transmission fluid. Is there a way to check the motor mounts are good. He checked the trans fluid and the level is OK.
Another problem is that it seems to shudder sometimes when going about 60mph. Dropping to 55 or increasing to 65, the shudder will go away. I'm worried these sound like expensive problems....

I believe that the majority of the problems were with the 4.0 engine and the 6spd transmission. One way to check the motor mounts is to have someone put the car in gear with their foot firmly on the brake and accelerate while someone else is watching the engine. It if lifts up substantially, you have a motor mount problem.

DO NOT STAND IN FRONT OF THE VEICHELE WHEN YOU HAVE SOME ONE ACCELERATE THE MOTOR.

I was saying that in a joking way. Howerver I have heard of a person getting hit against a wall in just one instance just as I warned against.
I remember you got your money back, or some of it on a PAC, what is your ride now? I sure hope you are having better luck with the new ride.

Years ago when vehicles had points and distributors, a friend of mine was tuning up his tow truck. He tapped the remote starter buttom to locate the timing mark and the next thing he knew he was being hauled off to the hospital. The truck was in gear and lurched forward pinning him against a work bench. He did not lose any vital parts, but walking is not as easy as it used to be.

I have an 04 with 150K miles on it...I was having the same issue as you stated and I took it to a mechanic and my upper and lowe motor mounts were broken. The mechanic had a hard time finding them as Chryslers situation. No one wanted to sell the parts. It was not cheap to fix...it cost about 400 for the top ones and another $400 for the bottom ones. It was so bad my engine was rubbing on the firewall!!
