My car will not crank over and the transamission over temp light is on. everything else works fine (radio,lights,etc.) will more transmission fluid help or has my car died?????

Let her go. $300 is too high to pay to fill her up. Won't fix the problem..

Stop using it & have the transmission temp issue
checked out

Ever change the trans fluid since it was new?

Doing it now won't help if debris froze up a valve
or temp switch in the valve body or the valve body
is worn or that model has issues that need to be updated

Sounds like you blew out your reverse belt/gear in the transmission. Probably going to need a transmission rebuild/replacement.

i have the 2.7 as well. mine is in an intrepid. Car was running perfectly fine when i went into bestbuy and when i came out 5 min later i tried to start the car and it would just crank n crank. no start though. eventually it started after lots of cranking. after a couple of times of doing this in order to start the car i would get nothing from the startrer. everything had power and everything electrical worked. found out that if i went under the car and hit the starter with a hammer a couple of times it would finally crank again. but i had to do this every time i shut the car off and wanted to start it again. i loive in WI and its wintyer right now so it really sucked to do this. took it to my buds shop and pulled the starter out and dissected it and found that the (i believe they are "brushes") were ground down to next to nothing, the positive ones, do to constant cranking. was going to get a starter from junk yard for 20 befor i knew what the problem was. did some calling around and found brand new brushes for $20.00. i just got those and installed them and had a good as new starter again. lots of dust to clean out of the housing though. brake fluid and air hose works wonders for that problem. but from best buy on the car would not start without starting fluid if it was at running temp. still yet to solve that one. replaced the cam sensor, crank sensor, plugs, COP's and checked the rest of the sensors. still cant figure this out. anyone have advice let me know what i can check. fuel pump kicks in wen the key turns as well...

CHECK TRANSMISSION FLUID LEVEL FIRST.A FAULTY TORQUE CONVERTER WILL KEEP CAR FROM CRANKING IF TORQUE CONVERTER REMAINS LOCKED UP.CHECK BRAKES LIGHTS TO SEE IF BRAKE LIGHTS WORKING.BECAUSE WHEN YOU APPLY BRAKES THE TORQUE CONVERTER SUPPOSE TO UNLOCK.IF BRAKE LIGHTS WORK, HAVE CAR CODE SCAN TO SEE WHAT TRANSMISSION CODE YOU ARE GETTING.

it ciuld be your starter

try the crank position sensor. the one on the bell housing

please advice, have you solved the problem? I have the same one on my Sebring. Many thanks.

You have low tranmisstion oil in the box.But change it dont just top it up.
