[img]smileys/smiley6.gif[/img]Hey guys i just found ur fourm and let me say that I'm glad i found u guys . Anyhow I have a 2000 Intrigue with a little over 72000 miles on the clock . Car has been pretty good 2 me only been in da shop for some minor stuff . other than that the car has been great But the reason why i'm writting u guys is cause to know have any of u experianced tranny failiure at such early mileage? The care is still driveable but I really feel that i'm on borrowed time with it . I have just recently had it in the shop cause when the care gets really warm the tranny slips. and my dealer quoted me 3grand for a reman Trans have please any info is welcome 2 help me solve this problem cause like i said Its only amatter of time before the enevitable happens.

have you serviced the transmission?

 

Yes I have And as A matter of fact twice in the same year Cause I had it in the shop the same problem Which was Slippage when It gets Really Warmand a check engine light This is the second time that i have hadt it in for this problem.

 

WHAT DOES YOU MECHANIC SAY ABOUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT? WHAT REPAIR DOES HE HAVE TO DO TO GET THE LIGHT TO GO AWAY? APPROXIMATELY HOW MANY MILES SINCE LAST TRANSMISSION SERVICE AND DID THE SLIPPAGE STOP AFTER THE LAST SERVICE?

 

That it is from the trans and all he has 2 do is Clear the code as for the milage i say Its about 5k since the last service It did go away for a while but It just recently came back.

 

clearing the code does not fix the car..... what does the code recommend be done to the car.

 

get your tranny flushed and new filter, almost guarantee it will fix it. cost approx 150.00

 

What da code says is Torque Converter lock up switch

 

IF SOMEONE COULD TELL YOU WHERE THE LOCKUP SWITCH IS LOCATED YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO REPAIR IT YOURSELF, YOUR LOCAL PARTS HOUSE MIGHT BE ABLE TO TELL YOU.

 

HAVE U PUT ANY TRANS ADDATIVES IN IT.
