What’s the Importance of Your 1998 Intrepid’s Transmission?

It's a type of car problem that’s not hard to notice. 1998 Dodge Intrepid transmission problems can show up as shifting delays, grinding when accelerating, the car shaking on the road, or whistling noises or a burning smell coming from beneath the hood. If you don’t pay attention to Dodge Intrepid transmission trouble you could see your fuel economy decrease or find that your Intrepid isn’t working at all.
