Transmission went into "limp-home" mode (locked in 2nd gear. Also showed slippage in r-d shift. Mechanic diagnosed problem as failure in internal valving. He also found a dscarded cigarette bet in the valve body. Transmission not repairable. Replaced transmission and transmission sensors, to the tune of $2,800. Spoke to chrysler's customer relations department before authorizing repair. They flatly refused to offer any goodwill adjustment, because I was second owner. Howover, I have original owner's statement that car was serviced according to manual, and transmission was never opened while she owned it. This is apparently a common problem with transmissions used in the early 1990s. A transmission should not fail this soon, and chrysler should be forced to pay for the consequences of its poor design practices.
