Hey Gloop,

I know what you mean about Chrysler trannies. We went thru 3 new Dodge trucks before getting one that had a decent transmission. It seems the key is to buy one that has a shift rather than an automatic. They just have lousy, lousy automatic transmissions.

The first two we bought were the Dakota's. The last one (and we've really had great performance from it) is a 4wd full size Ram (deisel). Great mileage and comfortable ride. I also have a Sebring and the transmission is acting weird in it too.

Another annoyance (I've been a dodge/chrysler buyer for a long time) is a muffler noise. It's a design flaw that has been on every chrysler/dodge/mittsubishi car that I've ever owned. When the vehicle is cold and you start it up, it sounds like there is a gremlin pounding on the carriage under the passenger side. I was really dismayed when I bought the Sebring new and found that it did the same thing. At least when the vehicle is new, the noise goes away once the car is warmed up.

I'm not sure why mittsubishi shares the problem but my first experience with the noise was a dodge challenger which had a mittsubishi engine.
