I have a 96 dodge avenger es 2.5, it seems to take a long time to shift out of first gear i have to realy step on the gas but after that it shifts fine and it dosent happen all the time, when i first get in the car it shifts fine but after like two stops it starts but when i turn the car off it and restart it it the same thing happens again. I have replaced the trans filter and fluid with atf +4, input sensor, solenoid pack and i have a rear motor mount on order can some one please help me. Thank you.

 

might be the TCM or an internal trouble

 

I replaced the rear motor mount and now it is working fine, thank you for your help.

 

OK i guess not worked good for one day, no problems, drove it this morning and it all started again.

 

without proper diagnostic equipment, it's a total guess. As you found out with the parts you already changed and that didn't fix the problem. I highly doubt it's a bad computer. This kind of stuff is indicative of internal issue

 

Im going to take it to the tranny shop tomorrow, let you know how it goes, thank you.

 

Ok took it to the shop they retrained the tcm and also said that i have a misfire, car still runs the same took it to my buddys house and we checked it over and found it not to be a miss but a bad fuel pump, his friend which as been a mech. for a long time and has a shop also said it was a bad fuel pump. just for got to ask him is a fuel pump for a 2.0 will work for a 2.5 eng dose any one know.

 

It was the fuel pump replaced it a couple of days ago and it is still shifting good and runs and idles better.
