gatrus Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 Have you heard of any problems with the AWD RT having transmission problems? A friend of mine jusy took his 09 RT to the dealer because it smelled burnt oil and the problem is a burnt transmission.The funny thing is that he does nor haul and 90% of his kms are highway kms. Is this a common problem? lately it seems that everyone I speak to who has a journey has had fairly serious problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaymista Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 I haven't had any transmission problems yet but I used to get a clunky sound when changing gears every once in a while when I switched from reverse into a forward gear. I found pressing on the brake hard when switching controlled that pretty good. Technically you are suppose to let your auto come to a dead stop before you change gears from reverse to first they say. I am not sure how you burnt out your transmission. We don't change the transmission oil as it is all sealed in, supposedly. I assume the transmission is under warranty and has been replaced by now. Good luck with your new tranny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck with your new tranny. I was weary of my transmission becasue i have had the same issue with the hard clunky shifting but i believe its just the nature of this vehicle. It does not bother me but i just dont want it to be a for shadow for things to come. The dealer has said its nothing to worry about... i have an 80,000 mile warranty so i am not worried about it.
