I went out to gas up Cirrus... No shift either F or R. I shut it off & restarted. After a few minutes, I got shift. Low ATF on stick. Drove to town, added ATF a little at a time... took nearly a quart! WTF?? I don't trust it now. I was gonna go visit my brother for the weekend... I still am but CTD is going. I don't see any leaks or drips on the ground... always a chance of blown cooler in radiator. I see a trip to local tranny shop in my future.Russ

Hmmm... No leaks at all on the ground... Well like you said you should see it either in the radiator or the ground... So is the coolant like a strawberry malt? :confused:

I remember my father having this problem with thier Stratus. I will have to ask him what ever became of it next time I hear from him.

I got the Cirus back from the transmission shop rather quickly. Transmission was fine after they replaced a rotted out line & refilled it with ATF. I'm glad it was so simple.Russ

Got lucky it looks... :thumbsup

It probably did not help the fluid condition running it so low that it did not move right away, I would pump out what is easy and replace it a couple of times - and put it on the PM list every 4-5 oil changes.keydl
