I just bought the car, the fluid smells pretty good, not real dirty, it probably wasnt serviced, I thought maybe the intrepids had a known problem like im having thank you for responding.

What I would suggest, since you just got it, service the transmission and purchase a good additive to it for shifting. It could be a seal that is getting hard and allowing fluid to bypass it. As a result, it takes an extra second or two for it to shift.

Let me know if it helps.
