WEll, i dont want to make a post like this, but i think my car has a lemon tranny.
when i picked up the car, it was a little notchy, which i let go because it was a new car.
after about 3500 kms it was the same, if not worse than before.
so at around 42-4500 kms i took it to a buddy at chrysler, and he said they have had cases come in like this, so its nothing major.
Now, the car has 7838 kms on it, i went to get the car washed last night just before i stored it for the winter. While on the way to the detailers, i noticed the trans a little odd, as it shifted harder than before, but thought nothing of it as it was freezing outside and car was not completely warm.
now i get to the detailers, but hes closed, so i say meh, ill go to the one by my place. This is where the fun begins.:werd:
on my way there, im at a light, nice and clear, no salt on the roads yet, nor any dirt. I give it a light first gear pull, and then a moderate 2nd gear up till 4900 rpm ( wheelspin ) i put it into 3rd and let it coast to the next light, at this point, the car pops out of third, and for the life of me, i couldnt get it into any gears AT ALL.
i shut the car off, and managed to get it into 6th, but that didnt help. luckily i was 500m away from work at this point and pushed the car to work ( with the help of my budies)
NOW. the next day, i get in the car to see whats up, and to my amazment, the car goes into gear fine, and shifts somewhat smooth.
at this point i had the car towed to chrysler to have them look at it, but i doubt theyll do anything as its going into gear now... pissoff..
so, any thoughts on to whats up? service tech already said they cant do much. basically told me to beat it till it blows.
any thoughts? :scratchhead:
BTW, the car is a 2010 Challenger R/T 6 speed..
