problem #1

Apr 021998

Stratus

  • Automatic transmission
  • miles
Intermittent delayed engagement at vehicle start up. Acceleration shudder during torque converter emcc operation at 28-42mph due to leak in transmission front pump. This is chrylser's A604 transmission that was renamed to 41te transmission in 1992. If I had known chrylser knew they were putting a defective transmission in their new Stratus, I would not have bought one.
