If you have lost all your gears, including R, oil is black with burned smell - most probably torque converter is gone. Have been there...

Congratulations! Which App have you used with obd scanner? Speed sensors most probably not at fault. If your problem would be solenoid pack, speed 2 and R would still be there. Any metal particles in the oil pan?

Hi there! Fuel filter is located right in front of the engine on the left side. You can see it from the underneath of the car and cant miss it. Check, if it is not leaking on the sensor socket. It can be fuel pressure control valve as well. Thanks,

Yes, it will work. Here is some info from the guy, who actually did it:

Torque converter is weak chain link on these transmissions. You will be taking it off together with the gearbox anyway. Besides, there could be inside some debris and metal particles too. If you don't want to take off transmission in near future again, I would strongly recommend to do torque converter as well. This is normal practice. You cant open it yourself. You need to take it off and send to someone, who can professionally cut it, restore everything inside, weld it back and balance. I have contacts here in UK (cost me 250 GBP), but in Norway there must be some companies too. Yes, you need to wash somehow your cooler as well. You obviously cant use the water. I don't actually know how you can flush it properly. Maybe with diesel fuel, but it is messy job. Theoretically, filter should have been keeping all the metal particles, but you never know. There could be aluminium dust as well. Personally, I have replaced my original cooler with Chinese aftermarket one, which I bought on e-bay for 40GBP. I have attached it to the original cooler with clips, there is enough space. Have done about 10 th. miles and it is working very well, oil temperature was never higher than 80C. Had to modify pipes connections though.

If metal particles are in the tray, this is not a good sign. Need to take gearbox off and look inside. You most probably have 41TE, A604 gearbox. Very popular gearbox in USA and Chrysler have stopped producing them only recently, 5 years ago or so. Plenty of second hand gearboxes available on e-bay, but I would recommend to put properly checked and reconditioned one. Another option is to buy second hand and repair kit with friction discs and to make one out of two. This is what I did. Also Torque converter need to be opened and reconditioned, if you want to do this job properly. I have been through this process myself twice. Second time was my own fault as I haven't noticed faulty needle bearing. Gearbox itself is very simple, if you can follow simple procedures, there are plenty of information on You tube and in general with instructions and manuals. A lot of circlips to take out and put back. I'm in the process of reconditioning another gearbox unit for my Chrysler now, so, next time gearbox is broken, I have ready unit to put in. Good question regarding using gearbox from petrol engine. I'm confident that gearbox from petrol 3.3 engine is the same as on 2.8 diesel, except gear ratios. It means that gearbox from petrol engine will work, but gears will change at different speeds (higher rpms). The only thing you need to check is electric connection on plug and pipe connections for oil cooler. All the fittings and everything else is the same. I have seen the post (possibly on this website) that guy did it on his diesel voyager and it worked well and he was very happy. Good luck with your project!

I bet it is one of the wheel speed sensors dead. Just had the same issue.

This is Oil cooler. The one where you screw in oil filter. This is weak point of this engine. Just change cooler, flush the system and it will be o.k.

Hi Richard, please see below the image of crankshaft sensor (number 1). Procedure of removing is simple. Disconnect the battery, disconnect electric plug, unscrew the bolt and remove the sensor. Torque 10.8Nm.

I would recommend to take torque converter off and send it for refurbishment. Cost around 250 Pounds plus shipping. I will have same job to do very soon. The gearboxes in e-bay with included torque converters with pretty high probability may not be in condition you expect.

Yes, I know what you mean. Today was doing some diy work as also need to pass MOT. Was doing some welding works and Airbag sensor was giving troubles. Have noticed that transmission pipes are wet in oil. The ones that goes in from oil radiator. Touched one just to check how tight it is and its broken in my hand. What a disaster. I was also thinking about a small fire that moment.

Start with pressure regulator.

I have same year and same engine car and exactly the same problem. I have changed filter and oil, but it didn't help. It actually became slightly worse. The oil was black and magnets full of fine metal particles. When you change oil, you actually change just a half of it, as a lot of oil (about 4 litres) stays in torque converter and radiator. Anyway, for now I have bought Lucas oil transmission fix. Didn't put it in yet, but I will. I think previous owner used it already and it explains why slipping got worse after oil change. In any case, these are not good symptoms you/I have. Dark oil means wrong pressure and fluid overheat and this means you need to repair your torque converter and of course, if you remove your transmission from the car, it make sense to check the gearbox for worn friction discs etc. I have tried all sort of scanners and no errors. I wonder if Transmission ECU actually responds. I'm mentally preparing myself for transmission removal and reconditioning it in my garage as DIY project. To give it to professionals will simply cost more than a car (around 2 th.). Luckily, this is very simple and popular gearbox, which have been used on many cars and very long time (41TE, A604). If you will type it in google, you will find plenty of info. I'm not recommending to go with e-bay second hand transmissions as it is very low probability to get a good one. These transmissions need frequent fluid change and many owners doesn't know that and therefore the average lifetime of this transmission is 100K. I hope it helps. Sergejs.
