Default How long to fix "popping out of 1st gear" problem?

My crossfire has been in the shop since Tuesday morning. Originally they told me it would only take a day, which I thought sounded awful quick. Then they called me later in the day to tell me it would be a 2 day job. Yesterday (end of day 2) I went to pick it up and they said it is still not finished. I'm starting to wonder how competent their transmission guy is. Hopefully it is done by the weekend as the "fun factor" is not quite there driving a Taurus.

The exact same thing happened to me...after the second day - I went back and demanded a X-Fire. Got it and they took another 3 days. Ended up screwing up the oil level of the car and had to take it back two more times. Ended up calling and writing Chrysler several times with barely a response.

oh....and I found out it was mostly due to them not having the proper tools to do the job. So.........you can assume they have never done it before :x

It took my dealer (Airpark Chrysler, Scottsdale, AZ) a day. And it was done right.

I have an Autostick, but tne Crossfire Tech at Sawgrass Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge has a 6 speed. He had the same problem with his and he told me he put in a new transmission under warranty. I think DC will swap out if you insist.

Sounds like you need a SHO
