Default tranny leakage

I have had my car for 30 days. Once I got it home the tranny shifting seemed odd. I would pull out of the driveway on cold mornings and the rpms would increase like it downshifted but mushy feeling. 1/4 mile later stopped at a light and when I take off it would feel normal and suddenly the rpms would rise, like the tranny was slipping and then take off normal/solid. Seemed to happen only on cold mornings. Yesterday afternoon 60 degrees putted about 300 yds, stopped at light, and went to take off got about 3 mph and the tach went to 3000 rpm at 3 mph! Glad that tractor trailer was able to stop!!!!!!!!!!
Took it to Gifford Chrysler Dodge Jeep Dealership in Norfolk this morning and they fixed the electrical connector o-ring leak (problem), $295. It now shifts solid as a rock. Also since buying this car I have always looked for leakage on the ground and have never seen any fluid.

You probably didn't see any leakage because it was already gone. I hope the transmission is OK. I guess once the connector was fixed, and tranny was refilled, normal shifting could occur. Not sure if they dropped the pan and replaced the filter or not, but you may want to keep an eye on this and consider a filter replacement just in case.

Mine started leaking in November -- small drip and then within a week a huge leak. I was lucky and had it in under warranty and caught it early.

Good luck with it. Mine has been fine since replaced. I hope this connector lasts a long time.
