help!!!! my sister in law has a 1998 chrysler grand voyager 3.3. She was driving it back the other week and it wouldn't go into top gear. She managed to get it home. The next day it wouldn't go into any gear. I have checked the oil level, all the electric contacts and found the connector on the solenoid box at the front of the gearbox was damp with gearbox oil. I cleaned it up, now i can get gears but its very hit and miss!! and i would have to rev the engine then will lose drive any help would be gratefully received

Sounds similar to a problem the ol man had years ago with an auto, turned out to be the torque converter. Was the oil level low before you topped it up?

Did you follow the manufacturers instructions for the checking the autobox level ? I'm not sure about the Voyager but some you check when engine running. Also what colour was the fluid - nice bright red or turning dark red / brown.

on the dipstick it says to check with the engine running and in park. oil is clear but bubbly (its not dexron oil ) all the books etc say you must use 7196 oil dexron will make the plates stick . have pulled the pipe from the rad oil cooler and get no oil pumped to the cooler. I think now it is dead  |

I think now it is dead There might be a thermostat so oil only pumped when hot which could explain why nothing comes out when you disconnected the pipe. If electronic control then I wonder if there is also a diagnostic plug somewhere that gives fault codes ? Might be worth considering asking an autobox specialist for cost of diagnosing problem. Easier to pay them a few quid than spend ages banging your head against the wall trying to find out what's the problem. Paul h |
