ok so i have been having a lot of trouble with my dsm lately and im getting pissed. the trans locks itself in 2nd gear for some reason. just to do 45mph i have the engine at 5k rpm. i wondered if anyone knew anything about the tranny since its automatic and the car is nonturbo. i was thinking it would be the shift solenoid that was broken but when you first start the car up itll shift just fine, then all of a sudden itll slam into second and stay there. thanks in advance. ---

well my old avenger did that and it was a sensor?cant remember the name right now. I beleive it was called the speed sensor. On my avenger tho once it went into 2nd it stayed locked until i replaced t hat sensor and that fixed it. Hopefully this will help. ---

When it does, you have two concerns to troubleshoot: The mechanical system of the A604 and the electrical system of the A604. > > First, before you do anything else when having A604 problems: Change the fluid with new Mopar 7176 and filter. You’d be surprised how many A604’s find their way to the junk yard merely because the wrong fluid was inside or the fluid was dirty. It does make a difference. > > You can get limp mode or other problems with the wrong or dirty fluid in the A604. > > While changing the fluid, remove the tranny oil pan and look to see what kind (if any) of debris is at the bottom. If its just the usual sludge and dirt, then chances are the A604 is still mechanically salvageable without a rebuild. If it is full of chunks of metal - chances are that something has broken and a rebuild (if not a partial one) maybe required. > > With the fluid changed, check the tranny and engine mounts to make sure that they are all intact- as they CAN cause limp mode, noises, and vibrations that maybe associated with A604 problems. im gonna try both of these options instead of getting the shift solenoid. ---
