[QUOTE="Richard L, post: 983750, member: 52972"] Lou, No dipstick means a sealed transmission with permanent fluid....That means the J**p Chr****r dealer you bought it from probably did nothing. My first step would be to get the fluid flushed and see if that helps the situation. I would also switch to Mercon-V synthetic fluid (Not any universal fluid) and do not rely on those so-called permanent fluids they use in the sealed transmissions. If your fluid got burnt it only gets worse since the burnt fluid causes slipping and the slipping causes heat which further damages the fluid....probably why the shifting/slipping problem only occurs after about 20 minutes of highway driving. My first step would be to get the fluid flushed...not just the routine fluid change. A flush replaces about 99% of the old while a change only replaces about half the fluid...the fluid trapped in the torque converter never gets changed unless you use a flush machine. ...Rich [/QUOTE]
