I had the rear seal on the transmission replaced a month or so after I picked up my truck. I've had no problems since.

just noticed

I noticed about a week ago that a small amount of fluid was leaking onto the new garage floor. I figured it was the transmission from the pattern. I have tried to call two dealers in the area for an appointment, several times. I ask for the service department and the phone just rings for a bit then a phone operator says they are busy do I want to leave a message. Yeah, my message is give me service. The two dealers that I am trying to get service from are in the San Diego area.

Unfortunately, what you are describing has become known (at least to me) as Dodge service. I'm on my 3rd Dodge Ram and it never gets any better.

My SRT is in the shop right now and they tell me Chrysler says they are to replace the Transmission extension housing along with a new seal, it was leaking transmission fluid and spraying it on the exhaust and tailgate. Let me tell you it smells terrible, burning on the exhaust

I wonder if this is partially responsible for the "clutch" smell that's reported from time to time.

How do you drive your truck, Bryan1? How many miles?

Thanks,

I just noticed this. Nobody bought thiers in late '03. They didn't arive at dealerships until Jan. 04. Just a little FYI for you.
