About a month ago the transmission return line (runs almost parallel with the u shaped frame) popped off my 95 3.3 Intrepid.
I drove it about 3/4 of a mile round trip. I reattached the return line and made sure all the hose clamps were tight. Added 4 quarts (according to the manual). When the transmission warmed up it wasn't registering on the dipstick. I figured one of two things: 1) The dipstick wasn't the original (the car was a wreck I bought) 2) The people that wrote the manual couldn't be wrong. I drove it about 3 weeks and the only thing it would do was have trouble going from R to D when it was cold. I eventually added the fluid until it registered on the dipstick where it was supposed to be. Drove it a few days like that with no problems. Then one afternoon it won't shift above 2nd or 3rd gear. Put it in R and backed up into a parking space at a gas station and then it drove fine.
Is this the limp in mode? If I remove the neg battery cable and reset the computer will it take it out of limp in mode?
Again, thanks for any input.
