trans

As I recall, the Dodge transmissions will not pump fluid untill the gear selector has been moved; that is to say, on a cold day (after startup), shift into neutral for a few seconds, then back to park, then let her warm up This will start the fluid circulating. I am uncertain when this started, but I think '99 is in the range.

Now, Mopar has this selected this function for a reason... please be careful!

Let us know if this helps.
