Car Forum / Chrysler Cars / July 2006Autostick won't shift...transmission fine
Hi -- I am looking for any information on why my autostick will not shift. Here are the specifics of the condition: Automatic transmission mode works beautifully. No noises or dropping. If i shift into autostick while not in motion it goes into first gear but will not shift up. If i shift while in motion it goes into the appropriate gear but will not shift up or down. almsot as if the slap-conntectors aren't connecting. Any suggestions?

Has it ever worked right, or is this a problem that has developed since you've had it? I ask because certain parts (instrument cluster and possible one of the computers) are specific to autostick/non-autostick - just wondering if anyone possibly swapped out one of those parts to the wrong (non-autostick) one. Does the tranny range indicator go from 'D' to '1' when you move the shifter from drive to A/S? If not, it may be a cable adjustment or range sensor (located in the tranny) issue.

It does move from D to the appropriate speed when shifting (1st at a stop, the correct speed when moving i.e if going about 35-40, it shifts into 3rd.) Where are the sensors? Perhaps I can fix it myself? I am pretty mechanically inclined and not afraid of taking my car apart. Thanks Peanut >>It may be the slap sensor connector.

I am pretty > mechanically inclined and not afraid of taking my car apart. The hall effect sensors are mounted on the shifter mechanism. Remove the shifter knob (a single set screw probably facing forward). Remove the shifter bezel - will be somewhere on the shifter (hint: the shifter metal has to just about touch them when moved from side to side for Autostick). Probably the hall effect module is bad. Not sure you can get just the hall effect switches thru the dealer - may have to get the whole shifter assy. - probably around $100-125. Might be a good junk yard part. (The above descriptions are based on LH cars - I have to assume that the Sebring is pretty much identical.)
