Transmission Slips

215

Asked by dgplugge Nov 02, 2013 at 03:52 PM about the 2000 Dodge Stratus SE Sedan FWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

The transmission is slipping occasionally due to a slow unidentified leak.  I'm using
the thick anti-slip fluid and that helps.

I'm about to go under the car and look for the problem, however I'm not sure where to
start.  I have the Chiltons manual, but can't find a blow-out showing where the various
gaskets and seals can be found.  Any leaks to a diagram or illustration would be
appreciated.

When the transmission fluid is filled, there is absolutely no slipping.  Therefore, I
believe a leak is the only problem.  I'd like to fix it myself.

I'll do that. I'm also thinking of putting some newspaper down, so I can see if any of the red transmission fluid drips. The car is always parked in the same place and it doesn't seem to have an drippings on the ground.
