Default 2010 SXT 3.8 Transmission Issue

2010 SXT 3.8 with 26k on it.

I noticed a clicking noise, leaving the driveway and slowly going down the road. When I give it gas, it goes away.

I don't notice it on the freeway, probably due to other noise on the faster road.

I took it in this morning, dealer is saying it's the transmission. It runs fine, as far as I can tell. Their transmission guy is off for the week, so I'll be bringing it back in a week.

The dealer will cover the repair, but a bit PO'd, with so few miles and having this issue already.

Anybody else run into this problem?

Thanks!

If you do a search through the Caravan forum, i'm sure you will find plenty of reading material.

Since it's under warranty, you're good to go. Just be glad your dealer had a specific transmission guy. Many dealers have their techs as general line techs, which in my opinion is probably not in the best judgment these days. We also specialize in specific areas where i'm at. You get much better results overall this way.
