RE: Transmission Problem

Just for the record, the "Quick Learn" is a routine that is performed using the DRBIII scan tool. It should be done after any significant transmission work or replacement of the tranmission control module. Irdaneel is absolutely right that the dealer or a transmission shop should know what it is.
What it does is set the tranmission control module to "quickly learn" when and how to shift smoothly, given your driving habits. The module is supposed to do this anyway, over time, but this will jump-start the process. The quick learn procedure is designed to get the smoothest shifting as rapidly as possible. If that doesn't do it for you, then there are probably mechanical issues.

RE: Transmission Problem

Oh ok. Thanks for the info. and ill have to check it out.

TCM (Transmission Control Module) Quick Learn

This is from pg 8E-26 of the Sebring Service Manual. Your Chrysler dealer will need to perform this. ( note: there is also a PINION FACTOR SETTING" procedure that must be done if the TCM is replaced.

STANDARD PROCEDURE - QUICK LEARN
PROCEDURE

The quick learn procedure requires the use of the
DRBIII

t scan tool. This program allows the electronic
transaxle system to recalibrate itself. This will
provide the best possible transaxle operation.

NOTE: The quick learn procedure should be performed
if any of the following procedures are performed:

Transaxle Assembly Replacement

Transmission Control Module Replacement

Solenoid/Pressure Switch Assembly Replacement

Clutch Plate and/or Seal Replacement

Valve Body Replacement or Recondition
To perform the Quick Learn Procedure, the following
conditions must be met:

The brakes must be applied

The engine speed must be above 500 rpm

The throttle angle (TPS) must be less than 3
degrees

The shift lever position must stay until
prompted to shift to overdrive

The shift lever position must stay in overdrive
after the Shift to Overdrive prompt until the
DRBIIIt indicates the procedure is complete

The calculated oil temperature must be above
60° and below 200°
(1) Plug the DRBIIIt scan tool into the diagnostic
connector. The connector is located under the instrument

For automatic transmission,check the transmission fluid level and condition.
Check the fluid level,low level may indicate a transmission leak.
If you feel a strong jerk or clunk while shifting the car may have a transmission problem.
