Replying to: Sporin (Feb 10, 2006 7:35 pm) My last car was A '02Intrepid SXT with the same 4 speed that the 300 owners are complaining about.I can tell you that the 5 speed is lot better than the 4speed.I have just over 1000 miles and so far its been great.I think another problem is it takes time the the computer to get to know your driving habits.Once its complete it should shift better,that what I found with mine.Also being a retired mechanic,I had to reprogram the computers(trans) with a test drive giving it all driving conditions.You have to do this once power is lost.I also think the '06 have the bugs out from the '05 trannys.which were the trial transmission.Thats to bad for the ones with the problems,but thats what they count on to improve the product.I hope this helps. |

I thought the same, until I started digging more. http://tinyurl.com/b9hnr In the US, there are NO civilian 4spd Chargers. The 2.7/spd combo is limited to just fleet units. You can get the 2.7/4spd. in the Magnum though. The Hemi and the 3.5 both get the same 5spd auto, and it IS having issues.

Replying to: Sporin (Feb 14, 2006 6:08 am) bulletin for leaking transmission.Only thing on the tranny is a shudder from torque converter,but I think these are early production cars.I'M a retired Mechanic and can pick up a problem right away.So far I see no problem and say its one of the smoothest transmissions I ever had.I think the gasket leaks could have been bad gaskets.If it was serious ,I think they would put out A bulletin.

Replying to: manybmws (Dec 12, 2006 5:15 pm) I found it frustrating at first because with it being a brand new car I didn't want to take it to the dealer. The manual states that when the car is new it learns the shift points and when cold you need to pause for a few seconds when shifting from park to drive. What exactly do you mean by klunking? When (cold?) and at what speed and hard acceleration?
