can this be reprogrammed i just got the car it has 120,000 on it it pulls good but if I jump on it from a stand still it will go in and out few times and then hold and go just curious i love the car it has a v6 i got for the wife but i want the 4.0 car for me any help and the parking brake light is on... and does not work.

 

Has transmission fluid ever been changed? Year? Where in TX are you?

I was recently having lurch and shift problems/jerks in my v6 2004, I took it to Bill (Brutal on forums) in Houston, he did Tranmission service and software update and car is awesome now!

Thanks,

Sounds like the classic 'lurch' symptoms. Do a search here, you'll find dozens of threads about it.

 

ok I just got the car this week and did not notice the problem. I am in Arlington,Tx can i change the fluid I have not jacked the car up yet to see what is going on, is this a sealed unit or am I not seeing the dipstick. I will need someone in these parts by dallas or fort worth to program it I just moved here from Michigan ...

There is a lot of info on the forums how to do it (but of course its not that easy to be done by everyone). I had it done at dealership.

And do some search on forums you'll find all the information you need.

Purchased a 2000 S type 4.0 with 97k new car to me. Seller has great service docs but no sign of trans service. He told me after driving 3-4 hours that there was some slight shift issues. So now after having the car for a few days no issues, no trans light on dash. I do notice a slight delay in shift from first to second gear and a light noise. Slippage. Not grinding almost a low whirl. Thinking filter and fluid would be the first step. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

Jay- note that the pre-2003 (2002.5 in Europe) cars have a completely different transmission than the later models- none of the troubleshooting or fixes read across AFAIK.
