Wont Go into Park??? - 10/4/2007 7:08:49 PM    02DurangoR/T_Milw   Posts: 12 Joined: 3/20/2007 Status: offline Ok O have a  02 Durango R/T 5.9 that wont shift into park on the dash atleast. If you count the gears it feel like it is in there but when I let off the brake it rolls like its not in any gear.? And on the dash the shift marker wont go past reverse?.. I can still take the key out but when I put the key back in I cant start it without having to put it into neutral? And it also keeps going in and out of four wheel lock. Does anyone have any idea's? Thanks, Stressed < Message edited by 02DurangoR/T_Milw -- 10/9/2007 10:49:31 PM > Post #: 1

I put it on a friends rack and we couldnt find any adjustment and the mount looked fine. So I took it to the dealer today and this is what they said, " parking linkage jambed internal of trans. removed the pan and found the front band strut fell out and jambed park linkage due to loose / worn front band".... They want to do a transmission overhaul with a torque converter overhall kit, new front band, filter and fluid. Est. $2343.00 with tax. Anyone think this is a good thing or deal? I put 200 miles on it yesterday with no problem except for it not going into park. If you guys think this is not a good deal and know of a shop near Milwaukee or I can drive it almost anywhere I think within a 200 to 300 mile radius of here to have it done. I just have a hard trusting a shop due to being screwed before. I am glad the wifes Cooper is under warranty. LOL Thanks Again, Stressed (in reply to steve05ram360) Post #: 6

I had a similar repair option a couple of months back... front band shot, 1800 bux to fix it w/o a new converter.  If you shop around at a few tranny shops I'll bet you can get it down under 2k...  BTW... I opted to rebuild mine 100% with a heavy duty kit & torque converter.  $3800. _____________________________ http://www.dodgeforum.com/m_1037052/tm.htm http://s41.photobucket.com/albums/e266/sdoherma/ (in reply to 02DurangoR/T_Milw) Post #: 7

How many miles on your D, and have you had the trans serviced every 30k???                                                                Don _____________________________ 2001 Dark Garnet Pearl Durango SLT+ 4.7L AWD w/ 3.55 gears (mine) 2005 Linen Gold Pearl DGC 3.8L (hers) (in reply to steve05ram360) Post #: 8
