Hey guys my father in law has 2002 intrepid and he's having an issue with the tranny. It sounds like if it was slipping but its not because if you pull over and turn it off and on then everything works fine for a bit. when hes accelerating the rpms rise but the gear does not change. Has anyone had something like this happen to them? I heard old or low fluid level can cause this but its not low and i dont think old fluid can do this. Please share any knowledge on the subject...Thank you

 

2002 2.7, and my car is doing exactly the same thing. After driving on the freeway for a while once I slow down to about 30 MPH, it suddely jerks and gets stuck in 1st gear the RPM goes real high, I pull off the freeway, and stop the car, put into park and then turn off. Then it works just fine, it seems to be happening once a day?

 

On both transmission, The trans went into limp in mode. You both should have stored codes and to ck code in the TCM.
