Why does my shift lever stick in park and keystick occasionlyJaynemillard - 2001 Dodge Dakota - Transmissions & Drivetrains - 12/25/2012

12/25/2012 rickThe two go hand in hand . There is a safety hooking the two together . That way it can't be put into gear without the key on and can't turn on the key unless it's in park .

When you changed your fluid and filter there was likely a grey to black sedement in the bottom of the pan, this would be friction material from the clutchs. Transmission fluid is high in detergent and often will wash down the clutchs to the point that it wont operate any longer. You are looking at a rebuild or replacement.

How to start from park position if I can only start in neutral right now. Replaced neutral safety switch and linkagezues77 - 1997 Dodge Ram 1500 - Transmissions & Drivetrains - 12/15/2012I have a check engine light for low pressure in transmission. I will be replacing the tranny fluid, filter and governor pressure sensor but I doubt this is the cause for only being able to start from neutral position.-

The park neutral position switch is connected to the Powertrain Control Module before their engagement to the starter motor relay.

The dealer told me I should only use only Mopar Dealer trans fluid when changing fluid / filter or flushing. Thoughts?JPrekop - 2006 Dodge Magnum - Transmissions & Drivetrains - 12/8/2012Fluid / filter change or flush-
12/8/2012 JimmDid the dealership happen to offer any explanation as to why they thought this is necessary - other than pure profit? Not required nor necessary to purchase transmission fluid through the dealership.
Use a compatible ATF from the local auto parts store; such as Coastal or Pennzoil ATF.
12/9/2012 CVOI agree with Mr Jimm. Chrysler is using Mopar ATF Plus Type 7176 for my 92 Dodge Caravan and it has a compatible ( 7176 ) at the local auto parts stores. See your owner's manual for the proper fluid. Happy Holidays.

They did not explain why so I used Valvoline ATF and it worked fine. Thank you guys for responses. Safe motoring!!

Car drives in reverse but not forward. Prior to this my car RPM was going high while driving. What could cause this.Sammy_Jr - 2002 Dodge Stratus - Transmissions & Drivetrains - 11/24/2012Smelled a burning smell but not sure where it's coming from.-
11/24/2012 CVOThe forward planetary gear set is broken. There are two set of planetary gear sets in the transmission, the forward and the reverse.
Visit this site and see the planetary gear set. http://www.transmissioncenter.net/
Scroll the screen almost to the bottom and you will see a planetary gear, it looks alike to a pencil rotating sharpener.
11/25/2012 Sammy_JrThanks! I have one more question. My car will move a little when I push gas, but it will not move until my RPM is about 3. Is what you told me still causing that.
