valve and tranny problems
I recently noticed a ticking while idling. Its not all of the time thought. it lasts for about 5 to 10 secs, then stops for a few secs. Does the valves need adjusted?I thought there were hydraulic adjusters so there would be no adjustment? Also when i shift into drive and let my foot off of teh brake my A/T kinda jumps into first. But if i keep my foot on the brake it wont as hard. And no im not still rolling back when i shift into first, i come to complete stop. Thanks for the help

Yup, time to change the tranny fluid...a flush and filter change IMO. I only recommend MOPAR ATF+3 for the these transmissions though....that is, that is what I would do.
Check your motor oil too. Check for color, smell, and flakes. The motor and tranny oil will have a burnt smell to it if it's worn out. Although you may not know how it should and shouldn't smell now, you may want to periodically smell the oil(s) you will start to learn how the should smell.

RE: valve and tranny problems
first of all, i'd like to say hello and that i'm new to the dodge avenger car and forum. secondly i want to take a second to mention i'm not trying to thread hijack, just dont see the point of starting a new thread for this question. just bought a 97 avenger with 151K KM (yes, I'm canadian) and im going to be going through all the things i suppose i should (all new fluids/flushes/tune-up etc) and i'm just wondering to some of the more seasoned avenger owners, what motor oil would you recommend, aswell as any other things i should be looking at before she hits the road. I don't really have much to add to this thread as is, so forgive me for that. thanks for any response. hope to be posting more frequently on this forum. thanks
