Problem overview

Some Dodge Caliber owners report experiencing issues with shifting gears, including being stuck in gear, which may be attributed to several potential causes. These owners have noted that a faulty or misaligned transmission linkage can disrupt smooth gear transitions. Additionally, they emphasize the importance of checking the transmission fluid, as low or dirty fluid can hinder gear operation. Misaligned throttle position sensors have also been reported to contribute to shifting difficulties, highlighting the need for proper sensor functionality for effective gear engagement. Furthermore, some owners have encountered problems due to malfunctioning shift solenoids, which are crucial for the transmission system's operation. To resolve these issues, it is advisable for owners to inspect these components and seek professional assistance from a qualified mechanic or dealership if problems persist.
