Interesting and I might at least ask the dealer how much for their magic fluid but I would point out that the truck has been fine since Christmas (a little Christmas present to me) and that this same shop has changed the fluid 4 times since I've owned the truck (150,000+ miles) so it seems like if I were going to have problems because of it being the wrong fluid that it should have shown up by now yeah?

Well CRAP, Curt. I remember you sending out the email about your Dakota and the transmission problem and COMPLETLEY forgot about one of the reasons you may be having problems. This is probably one of the Chrysler trannys that needs the special Dodge/Chrsyler fluid. I did a transmission service on my wife's old Lebaron and it started acting strange. It wouldn't shift or it would shift too fast, or it had no reverse. So, I called a friend of mine at the Chrysler dealer and he told me it was the fluid. You might need to buy the fluid direct from the dealer. I think your transmission requires Chrysler specific fluid. I know it fixed ALL of the problems in the Lebaron. Good Luck. Donald H.
