Application
Personal vehicle: 1998 Chrysler Town & Country
Challenge
The 1998 Chrysler minivan had 124,000 miles on it, and the transmission was causing shudder and hard shifting problems. The vehicle was filled with a competitive Dexron-III transmission fluid. The end user had taken the vehicle to several transmission repair shops. One shop repaired the transmission three times, but it was still not fixed. Their fourth solution was to replace the torque converter.
LE Solution
Instead of replacing the torque converter, Precision Motorwerks gave the end user another, less costly option. Pedersen consulted with Robert Crews Sr., local LE lubrication consultant, who recommended LE’s Monolec Power Fluid (7500) to stop the hard shift and shudder. This product’s unique blend provides the proven protection of the most advanced wear, friction and oxidation inhibitors, all in one complete formula that you can count on to deliver superior wear performance, consistent friction characteristics, exceptional oxidation stability and excellent foam prevention.
Results
After servicing the transmission and replacing the current fluid with Monolec 7500, Precision Motorwerks found that the shudder and hard shifting immediately stopped.
The end user was so grateful and impressed that he called Pedersen a genius.
