The transmission light is coming on and off in my 2002 Intrepid. Mechanic said it will need a new transmission. Occassionally the car will not shift up into the next gear. I'm thinking about getting a transmission from a wreck. What transmissions from others years/models will work in the 2002 Intrepid?

Is the check engine light on?,probally needs the speed sensors replaced.The 1998 and up transmissions do not go out inside and most yards do not sell them.They sit on the shelf for a long time.Try replacing the speed sensors first,a very common problem with the 1998 and up transmissions.Some more advice, get a second opinion.

Why would you just start throwing parts at it not knowing what is wrong??? Take it to someone that can scan the computers. The trans are shifted by computer.

There is a rule on electronic transmissions: If the speedometer does not work,transmission does not shift.I put in speed sensors in the 1998 and transmissions and it cured that problem.
