Hey guys whats up im kinda new here and i just got a 1997 avenger with the 2.5 in it. The problem with the tranny I am having is that when I bought it and i drive in drive it will slips when the rpms get higher but when i let go of the gas it will catch the gear again, and low and reverse work fine. I just changed the filter and fluid with atf +4 if anyone knows anything any help would be greatly appreciated!!

 

Does the tranny slip while it's hot out, after you've been driving for awhile, did you use MOPAR ATF? You can use MOPAR ATF+4 but I think the a604 in our cars require MOPAR ATF+3. MOPAR is the key and not the generic or even the MOPAR replacements. I take it you didn't see any metal flake either since you didn't mention it...that's a good thing. Their have been lots of tranny slip issues solved just by using MOPAR ATF. Time-It Lube, Autozone, Napa, or any other place like that doesn't know the difference..as long as you buy THEIR product. And depending on how the tranny was used and abused before you, your torque converter may need replacing, keep in mind that your car is getting older.

 

i saw only a few flakes in it. it does it no mater what hot or cold. and as it gets higher in rpms it then slips whatta ya prefer i go from here

 

IMO, flush out your current tranny fluid and pump in MOPAR fluid.
