2002 Chrysler Sebring convertible-malfunction light on

Trans fluid and filter should be changed every 24,000 or two years. How often have you changed yours? Ever?

If you have over 75,000 miles and never replaced the transmission fluid and you do not have a engine light on, you need a new transmission.

evey 80,xxx - 100,xxx miles

The following is the scheduled mainainence per Chrysler at 60,000 miles:

1. Change engine oil & filter
2. Air cleaner filters
3. Rotate tires
4. Check spare tire pressure & stowage
5. Change automatic transaxle fluid & filter
6. Engine coolant flush (every 60 months or 102,000 mile whichever comes first)

I hope this helped and good luck

First off make sure this car was very well taken care of. Honestly I would not recommend getting this car. The transmission can have problems, the A/C pump will definitely fail in the near future, and the list can continue on. at 90k it will be due for spark plug changes, air filter change, and coolant change.

That just happened to me. Check your transmission and make sure you have transmission fluid in your system. I just paid $2,000 to rebuild my transmission and the ticking was an indicator of the problem, but I didn't know it at the time.

2.7 ? This motor has oil problems if not changed every 3000 miles. Put a chrysler filter on it and the correct weight of oil, never use a fram oil filter.

Best to have a transmission place work on this.
Here are the meaning of the codes:
P0700 Transmission Control System Malfunction
P0740 Torque Converter Clutch Circuit Malfunction

It maybe cheap to fix like a bad sensor. Or it maybe something serious going on. Best to have a transmission shop check it out.
Good luck.

Normal maintenance schedule at 75,000 miles:
Replace transmission fluid.

(At 90,000 do all of above plus:
