| 56000 mi | While towing a pull behind camper I would have shudder with a screech sound when climbing a hill in direct(3rd) at 4k rpm. The shift to OD(4th) was a 1000 rpm change and that was when it happened. I talked to the trans mechanic at Huntsville Landers FCA dealership and he recommended B & G fluid conditioner. It worked and now I get some brief shudder but no sound of a clutch pack slipping. This can of conditioner was a freebie but I do have a good relationship with the parts dept. |
