#26 of 59 1998 Neon transmission problem by desgnr Feb 25, 2007 (9:44 am)
My wifes 1998 Plymouth Neon bought new. Now has 45,000 miles. When the car is cold the Transmission slips. When it warms up it shifts fine. My mechanic said if he changes the Transmission fluid it might help,but he also said it could make the problem worse. What do you suggest to correct the problem?

Replying to: abbeyhug (Mar 03, 2006 5:58 am) The only crap here is what you wrote!   The truth is that Honda transmissions in general, last basically forever (check 92 civic DX that had original tranny approaching 200K miles when we sold it about 2 years ago).   Dodge transmissions last about 65K at best!!! That is like a best case scenario with regular maintenance.

#30 of 59 transmission and coolant leaking by billandalisha Aug 27, 2007 (1:49 pm)
Yesterday when I was driving my car, when i stepped on the gas pedal I could feel the car revving but it wasn't going any where then all of a sudden it would jerk and go ahead...   It did this a few times then I decided this isn't normal..so I got out of my car to check the hood...as soon as i opened my car door i saw a trail of fluid ...from the road to where I parked..   So i peeked under the hood and green stuff and red stuff was leaking on to the ground. Oh damn..   I jumped in the car trying to head back to my place but I stalled about 2 min..I could feel the car revving but it wasn't going any where..so I had to push the car to a parking lot.   When I got my car to my apt, I checked the transmission fluid as well my coolant..both were bone dry   I think I need a new transmission ...not sure..   any one can give any clues what it might be? its in the shop now..i want to look smart when they give me the estimate..thanks   Replies to this message: gcumber (Oct 15, 2007 11:51 am) ray40 (Nov 08, 2007 7:52 am) lhasaluvers (Dec 10, 2007 8:27 am) lhasaluvers (Dec 10, 2007 7:48 am)
#31 of 59 Torque converter locking and unlocking constantly by dkaufman23 Sep 21, 2007 (6:32 am)
2005 Dodge Neon SXT 40,557 miles:   I recently started having a problem with my car that i can't quite figure out. After driving in traffic around town for a while and then getting out on the interstate the transmissions' torgue converter seems to be locking and un-locking constantly as i notice a dramatic fluctation in RPM at that time. Also the speedo fluctuates 10-20 mph...i guess bounces between would be a better description. It also seems to be miss-firing but no associated engine light, so no codes to pull. The missfire feeling could be from the tranny but not sure. It only does it for a minute or so. Then all goes back to normal. Seems to run fine once it stops its little fit but bothers me. Dealership has been no help.   It only seems to do this after doing city driving and not at any other time. MPG has also decreased noticieably. Was thinking transmission control module with the speedo doing the bounceing but just want some input.   Thanks   Dan Replies to this message: kinito24 (Aug 01, 2009 9:30 am)

Replying to: billandalisha (Aug 27, 2007 1:49 pm) i had this same thing happen last night... i am under the impression that this is the transmission fluid cooling line that runs to the radiator... but not 100% could you let me know what you found out??? pleez!

Replying to: billandalisha (Aug 27, 2007 1:49 pm) Hey,    Just went thru this problem with a 2002 neon. You need to replace the Radiator, and have the trans fliud and the Radiator flushed out, then hope that ne damage was done to the Trans. Replies to this message: lhasaluvers (Dec 10, 2007 8:27 am)

Replying to: billandalisha (Aug 27, 2007 1:49 pm) In case you haven't solved your problem yet, I will give you a little advice on it. My son's 200 Neon lost all the tranny fluid. We found that the cooling line to the radiator was off. The plug that went into the radiator had pulled out. Not the hose clamp, but the threads on the plug stripped. To repair it, I used PC-7 epoxy to hold it. So far it has held. He had driven it without fluid about 5 miles, slipping badly. We put 3 1/2 quarts of high mileage fluid plus sealer and conditioner in it and it didn't slip. I don't know how much damage was done to the discs, but he'll have to wait and see if it continues to run. Hope this advice helps anyone.
