It's a 3 speed auto. I didn't know but my dad spoke with a tranny guy from our Dodge dealer and he said it sounds like the governor is hunting for gears and that's not good. He said it probably needs re-built which would cost more than the car is worth. Can anyone explain this better? I guess I thought most governors were electronic these days. Many I can find a junkyard tranny. Any idea what other year trannys are compatible with a 2001? Thanks! Oh, the fluid was checked and it's full.
