SOURCE: 98 dodge avenger transmission problem

codes will verify if it needs to be pulled out. More than likely it will as the electronics are rarely the problem. The computer senses a indifference in the ratio between the sensors so it locks it in limp mode - 2nd gear.

sounds like you should start by dropping the pan and changing the filter, put cheap fluid in it or reuse the old fluid if its not too bad bring it to a shop and have a transmission flush performed with a good flush machine your valve body is sticking and this should clear things up please rate -jeff

SOURCE: My dodge avenger 2008 is stuck in park and will

There's a saftey cable attached to the brake. If that breaks or gets messed up you will not be able to get it out of park. There might be a key slot in the console,insert the ignition key, & try to move the gear shift. If you can get to neutral,it'll start & you can get it to a qualified shop,without a tow bill.

SOURCE: 2008 dodge avenger. Will not move out of park.

ther is an electric solenoid in the shifter the fuse may have blown but if you have ever spilled anything sweet ,soda juice etc it will get sticky and gum up not letting it operate as designed check fuses first, if fuse is good then go to solenoid

Wont shift out from second gear

It is in "limp home mode." This happens when transmission errors occur, such as P-O700. You can try disconnecting the battery for 15 minutes, reconnecting it afterwards, and seeing if that clears the code and the problem. However, if it persists, the following may be informative: https://www.avengerforumz.com/threads/2008-avenger-p0700-p0760-stuck-in-1st-2nd.54831/

How far can I drive my 2013 Dodge Avenger with broken shift cable

Since it is broken, then you cannot use all the gears. Are you stuck in drive? Can you shift at all? Can you shift sometimes or not. Is it broken or just loose at the connections? The best idea would have a mechanic look at it asap before you get to a place where you are stuck and need a tow. Keep your phone handy.

08 avenger shifting problems

There is a clip the holds the clutch cable to the shift. Sounds like it broke. There was a recall awhile back to replace the plastic clip with a metal one.

Why doe's a 2008 dodge avenger shug when it put in gear

I'm not certain what SHUG means. Can you offer a better description?

It is normal for there to be a slight bump when shifting from park to drive, especially when very cold. Something I do that helps is to shift from park to neutral and wait a few seconds before shifting to drive. That seems to ease the process of shifting to drive. Also, check the fluid when the engine is warm and idling in Park. If low, add only the necessary amount.
