99 Sebring LXi Coupe, will act as if in nuetral with a whining/grinding sound. Cut it off and restart, violia! will go in gear for a few feet and boom, back to no engagment, no matter where shifter is.
Also service engine soon light came on, at same time.
I,m thinking its a control solenoid or something. Just need good advice as to most common causes ( besides fluid and filter).
My 99 LXi coupe did the same thing. I took it to the tranny people here, and he said a snap pin came off causing the gears to grind together. This absolutely sucked. All said and done, it was about 1000 dollars to get it fixed. I wished i would have know about the stratus gears, or i would have had them put on too. Good luck buddy!
