99 chrysler sebring lxi transmission problems

FIRST thing you need to do is get the speedo fixed without the speedo signal it will go into fail safe mode. Check around the trans & make sure all of the wires are good & nothing was knocked loose during the service

First thing to do is replace the VSS (Vehicle Speed Sensor) located on the transaxle between the two ATF hoses.

I researched this website earlier and the place where my car was serviced did use the DEXRON plus and additive. I question the tranny mechanic and he said that DEXRON would not mess up my transmission and that many other companies use it. He said that He didnt believe that was the problem!!!

Then I called the dealership's auto shop and they said that ATF4 was supposed to be used only. So now I am confused. I don't know what the next step should be. I don't know what was used before this place because I never had this happen.

It is imperative that you have the Dexron? removed and ATF+4 put in. It's one of those unfortunate things that 99% of the tranny shops have been mis-educated on (giving them the benefit of the doubt).

Dextron plus additive is pure BS and they know it does not meet MFGs requirements. It happens to often to unsuspecting people and thet end up paying for a new tranny.

Driving around even for 100 miles can start causing internal damage and don't let them tell you any different. I would demand that they redo your tranny flush and that you tell them you will buy the correct fluid and then reimburse you and make them put it in writing.

If they do not go to the dealer and send them the bill also threaten to take them to court or BLOG the hell out of the internet or even take an ad out in the paper. The loudest squeek always gets oiled first.

B&G products and flushes are some of the best on the market and I use them for everything except the transmission. I get it done at the Dealer for the same as a B&G flush also stay away from the AAMCO flushes they do not use the correct fluid either and also thought the additive MFG specs which is BS. Since you can get 55 gallon drums of ATF+4 Valvoline now may be the flush places will start using the correct fluid. AutoZone and Advance has ATF+4 on the shelf at about $2 cheaper than the Dealer. I just bought two cases at AutoZone yesterday. All four of my vehicles are DC products and I have some maintenance coming up on 3- out of the four.
