I got my car serviced at a Chrysler dealer. So I'm _hoping_ they know their stuff.

ISSUE: Converter failed and debris throughout transmission
RESOLUTION: "21000733 Transaxle, Automatic - Remove and install for recondition 4-speed transaxle"

It lists a bunch o' things such as:
  • converter package
  • seal package
  • bolts, bearings, gears
  • pinions
  • solenoid

The work order lists that ATF+4 was put in.

There was also some NON-transmission work done:
  • New air cleaner (entire unit, not the filter)
  • Resurfaced front rotors and rear drums. AND THEY'RE STILL PULSATING!
  • Alignment
I've noticed less power, and worse fuel economy (on top of the 7-times-out-of-10 hard shifting)
Thanks again for your reply. Let me know if you could use any more info
