Default Transmission

Has anyone experience anything wrong with there transmission. When I got my Charger someone told me I should change my transmission. I haven't had any problems with my transmission since I had my car but I'm just checking if anyone heard anything about the transmission going bad or is it just a rumor.

The W5A580 "nag" 5 speed tranny is fine. More than not have had a leaky o-ring where the filling tube fits ontothe tranny but it's an easy fix covered by a TSB.

The weak link in our power train seems to be the rear axel and half shafts. Even at that, you shouldn't have to worry about that until your running drag radials and HP boost, like nitrous, at the track.

Well said... Just keep the tranny maintained and make sure you have the latest flashes from the dealer and you will be ok.
