#1 of 7 Transmission Problem with 95 Dodge Avenger by kitchenwitch Feb 24, 2008 (9:33 pm)
I bought a 95 dodge avenger a couple of years ago. Got the car for 1,500. Low milage for it's age. I have had to do front end work on it since I have had it, and the brakes. But the problem is I will be driving down the road and I will lose third and overdrive. I can pull over it kicks hard when it down shifts. Wait about three to four seconds start it back up and it runs great. Could anyone have any idea why the transmisson does this? It does not do it all the time though. I love my little car it runs great except for this little problem Replies to this message: shortstuff121 (Apr 13, 2008 8:34 pm) shortstuff121 (Apr 01, 2009 4:43 pm) ronc59 (Apr 01, 2009 7:13 pm)

I saw something about having the Transmission control computer flashed on 96's. I'm going to call about that tomorrow.

#3 of 7 Transmission problem with 1998 Avenger, 2.5l by ronc59 Apr 01, 2009 (3:30 pm)
The problem is I will be driving down the road and I will lose third and overdrive. I can play with the throttle and it will kick back in for a moment. If I pull it into 2nd gear I can drive the car, just not very fast. The fluid isn't burnt smelling or dark.Also the check engine light came on, I haven't checked it yet but, I'm pretty sure it will be a trans code. Has anyone else had this same problem and cured it? Hope to hear from somebody. Replies to this message: kitchenwitch (Apr 01, 2009 4:04 pm) mrcdc (Jun 21, 2009 11:23 pm)

Replying to: ronc59 (Apr 01, 2009 3:30 pm) Well I finally had to get me a new transmisson. I had the the transmisson computer replaced it didn't help. I finally got someone that could help me and told me it is the shift solenoid (sp?) in the transmisson that was causing the problem. So with all of you having the same problems I was with my avenger transmission have those checked out that could be your problem. Kitchenwitch

Replying to: shortstuff121 (Apr 13, 2008 8:34 pm) I had the speed input sensor replaced on my 95 & I haven't had any problems with it since. Replies to this message: ronc59 (Apr 01, 2009 7:13 pm)
