This thing is ROUGH when it comes to the gear ratios, man. I don't know how this could be considered one of the best trannys ever made.
My Crossfire has the 6sp manual, but I had a Charger R/T with Hemi and basically the same 5sp auto, and absolutely loved it. Best manual shifting automatic I have driven, including some Tiptronic Porsche, Cadillac, and KIAs. And as mentioned, it is very able to handle torque. I think the only real issue with it I have heard of is up through about 2005 the front seal could leak, and that is even in the LX cars.
