ID the Tranny model number and look it up for problems and if Sonnax.com is actually making
parts for it, ie, they ID'd chronic problems with the tranny.
Long gone are the days of the good A727 / A904 trannies that lasted forever!
Now, no matter how much I like a car I check these issues out with an extensive search!
Pretty sure it's the ZF 8HP transmission in that 3.6 300c. AFAIK, there haven't been any major problems with this trans. It is being used in a ton of different applications, including my wife's Q5, although it's a slightly different variant.
Then again, this is the 8HP-based 845RE trans that is actually made by Chrysler and not by ZF, so who knows...
