wow! fastest reply ever! monday, i'm taking it to a "transmission specialist" and they are going to check solenoids and i guess do a tranny. service. i wonder when was the last time i had it serviced, apparently every 20k miles the trans. should have a service? i doubt its neglect on my behalf, the place i had it serviced at last didn't have the dipstick when i asked them to check the fluid the other day. what kind ***t is that. they recommended another service. i wish there was a crossfire sage i could take it to. all the german shops snub me cause of chrysler badging, and chrysler do not know there butt from a hole in the ground. i know the 5 speed makes it shift funny, but dayum.
