about a week ago i started to have trouble with transmission. at first it would take a long time to shift to second gear, so i unhooked the batteries , i thought it would reset the computer that did not work. then i took off all the ground connections and cleaned them still not working . in fact now it shifts bad in alot of different gears. i tried a bottle of lucas transmission aditive still bad. i hooked a scan tool up and no codes. the fluid is nice and red and smells good not that brown bad smell when something is burning . what do you think?

Just for your information, self diagnostic tests are written specifically for Chrysler diagnostic read-out box (DRB) scan tool. A genetic scan tool may not be used!!!, but may not be capable of performing all necessary test functions on the transmission. you will probably have to go to the dealer and have them do the test functions and pull down the codes on the transmission.
