My 2005 Pacifica has started slipping out of gear. I had to put in in park and turn it off - then restart to get it to re-engage, but could only get a yard or so before it would shudder and slip out again. What could it be? It's got plenty of transmission fluid and the oil was changed a week ago.

SOURCE: Transmission in drive seems to slip into neutral, then back into gear.

Does the fluid look brown and smells burnt or bright clear red.Sounds like the trans is on its way out.Once they start to burn and slip it coats the bands with contaminants that resist holding to the drums when engaging added to that the fact that they are worn a bit after 8 years of driving.If the fluid is not clear red try a service (filter,gasket and fluid )only you can tell wether to do that first or replace outright

But I am afraid I can't tell you want all these codes mean for your car. It was probably not related to the change in fluid that was performed. However, it is serious and should not be driven until fixed. Risk of total destruction of the transmission is too great. I would assume the symptoms are so diverse that it may be a bad transmission control module. Which is about $200, and fairly easy to replace:

But there are other possibilities, such as a bad relief valve could be letting main pressure drop too low.
This is the type of thing which does require an expert and can't easily be done remotely.

The valve/solenoid assembly has been damaged. The part is $150, its replacement around $200 (depending on the shop).
Yes, the car is fixable and the bill small enough to be worth the effort.

Hi,
Had the same problem a few years back. It may be a gear shift cable. I had to replace mine. The job is about $450, the part and about 3 hrs labour

SOURCE: I'm an idiot and put my engagement ring in my change holder in my 2006 Chrysler Pacifica. When I went to put it back on, it was no where to be found. I believe it slipped behind the small crack

Print I hope this helps you,good luck.Randy
