okay here is my proble, Ipurchased this 96' intrepid 3.5 it was in pretty bad shape had to assemble the whole engine so I did now that I am done the car starts and the engine runs smothly but when is time to drive I am having problems if I select the reverse the car will need to be in 3000 RPM's before it starts moving same thing when I put it on drive it takes that many RPM for the engine to engage and start moving the car the when it is time to change to 2nd gear Ihave to rev up really high again same for all gears, also on the dashboard is not showing the proper gear when in reverse it shows as parked whenparked shows as in drive and so on, please help me, what can be causing that?

 

Hello,

Sounds like you have a bad Transmission Range Sensor or wireing problem with the TRS. It also sounds like the trans is not any good, even with a bad TRS, you shouldn't have to rev it up to get a gear. If it's full fluid, then something will have to be done with trans. Hope this helps.
