04 Transmission: OK, I'm Lazy
 

Took Mom's 04 in a year ago, and was informed that the slight leak of transmission fluid was due to a seal in the valve pack, and that the whole valve pack needed changing out.

I bought the Chrylser 4 volume set on of service manuals and I bought the Chrysler 4 volume set of diagnostic manuals. I can't find the pics showing the whereabouts of this transmission valve pack.

Any help rendered would be appreciated, insofar as a link or .jpg of the valve pack location and instructions as to seal replacement.

If it means major disassembly, I don't care. If all I can find out, is the design code of momma's transmission, then, I can buy the manual off the ATSG.com website.

(I've rebuilt the 01M transmission in the old VW Jetta, so I'm not bashful about the project, if that means anything. I've found that ATSG info is pretty decent.)

Many thanks.

It's called the "Solenoid/pressure switch assembly". Sometimes called the solenoid pack. It's an easy repair. Remove the air cleaner box and look at the front surface of the transmission. It's right there below the two cooler lines and the input speed sensor. You won't need to tear into the transmission, just pull the cooler lines, the speed sensor and then remove the three vertical retention bolts to get the pack off. One hour job for an amateur mechanic including the engine wash before you begin.

2005 Sebring convertable with the 2.7 litre, a little over 103,000 miles. I have codes 700,760, and 8 something (not much help) . 700 is apending code, and 760 is a pressure solenoid if I am correct, and other forgotten code is switch. Can someon point me in the direction of a diagram for such parts?

i will also be following this thread , i gots the ole 700 and gonna get a new - shift solenoid - or is called a - shift solenoid pack? -

700 code is a generic message that there are additional codes relative to the transmission. You may need a better scanner to get the additional codes.

If you search for "solenoid pack" you will find lots of information here and on the web.

Thanks dcotter0579, will do. I did find a little more info after some weekend research. The code I failed to remember which is 0871 has something to do with transmission fluid pressure sensor/switch.

Ok guys, i started at the basics instead of throwing money at things first. Recap- 2005 Sebring convertable touring-109,000 k miles, with 2.7 litre. Getting codes 0700-0760- and 0871. I wa sgoing to order solenoid pack and decided to check tha transmission fluid before doing so, discovered that the transmission fluid is actual too high. It is above the "HOT" top mark.
My question is , how much of a problem can this cause? Being that I am getting a pressure switch/sensor code. Should I attempt to drain a bit, ( fluid actualy looks great but has not been changed ever to my knowledge.

I doubt the the extra fluid in there is causing those codes. The question arises why there should be too much fluid? Maybe the car wasn't level or maybe a previous owner added too much. Anyway, the problem to be concerned with when there's too much fluid in the trans is some of it being pushed out of the dipstick tube and splashing on the exhaust manifold causing a fire. Chances are you'd have noticed that happening. If the large orange flames weren't noticeable, the column of black smoke would have been a definite giveaway.

With over 100,000 miles on that fluid, it's overdue for replacement.

Both those codes point to the solenoid pack. It's not a difficult job to replace that.

Tackle those two things and see if it solves the problem.
