The transmission was recently serviced outside of Dodge (due to trust issues and no not AAMCO). I also had suspension parts replaced due to another issue.

About 3 months later, there is a noise coming from the transmission. It is intermittent and appears to occur only when I start the vehicle and put it into gear. Not important whether it is hot or cold. When I place the lever into drive and start to drive, there is a clicking noise in the transmission. I already checked the axles. The noise occurs in reverse and forward motion. If I stop place the transmission into park then move the gear lever through all of the gears, place it back into park. Turn off the engine and restart it again. No noises. It drives like a champ. Now, according to the service history I pulled up on this vehicle, there has been transmission work done in the past and there was a recall for a flash at one time. It is now clicking and jerking intermittently. It also sounds as though it is whining loudly in first gear. Once I get it on the freeway, it is fine. I just traveled to San Diego with no problems. In fact, the transmission seemed to run better for a day or two during and after the trip. Help?
Any thoughts or ideas?

 

If the problem keeps up, get it into either a dealer or a transmission shop you trust and verify the noise. I have heard this type of noise, But remember this is only a guess. I think the overdrive reaction plate maybe coming apart or a planetary gear assy.
