The Chrysler gearbox has been fitted to a wide range of vehicles, from luxury saloons and large family MPVs to SUVs and sports coupés. At EDEN BOITES, specialists in exchange gearboxes, we help you understand the transmissions fitted to the Chrysler range, spot the signs of wear, and choose the most reliable solution when a replacement becomes necessary.
Which gearboxes are fitted to Chrysler vehicles?
Over successive generations, Chrysler has evolved its transmissions to keep pace with an ever-wider variety of engines. Both manual and automatic gearboxes feature in the range, with automatics by far the most common on recent models.
- The Chrysler Voyager was initially fitted with a 5-speed manual gearbox, followed by 3- and then 4-speed automatics (the BVA4), depending on the petrol or diesel engine.
- The Chrysler 300 pairs its V6 and V8 HEMI engines with automatic gearboxes ranging from 4 to 8 speeds depending on the generation, with rear-wheel drive.
- The Chrysler Pacifica moved from a 4-speed automatic to Autostick gearboxes, then to a 9-speed automatic on recent MPV versions.
Given this variety, it is essential to check the exact reference of your gearbox. This code is stamped on the transmission casing. If it is illegible or difficult to access, provide the model, year and engine of your vehicle so we can identify the correct unit.
How do you recognise a failing Chrysler gearbox?
Whether manual or automatic, a transmission that is beginning to fail sends out warning signs that should not be ignored. The longer a fault is left, the greater the risk of damage to costly gearbox and engine components. Watch out for these symptoms:
- gears that are difficult to engage, crunch, or jump out whilst driving;
- juddering or jerking during gear changes;
- unusual noises in neutral or under acceleration;
- oil patches on the ground, indicating a transmission fluid leak;
- a burning smell or a warning light on the dashboard.
As soon as any of these signs appear, have the gearbox checked by a mechanic. A diagnostic carried out with the right equipment can often avoid an unnecessary replacement: a simple fluid change or the replacement of a few components is sometimes all it takes to get everything back in order.
Repair or replace your Chrysler gearbox?
When wear is too advanced, repair is no longer sufficient and complete replacement becomes the safest option. An exchange gearbox involves fitting a reconditioned transmission, restored by technicians and checked before dispatch. It is a reliable and long-lasting alternative to a new part, provided the correct gearbox code for your vehicle is identified precisely.

Frequently asked questions
How do I find the reference for my Chrysler gearbox?
The reference appears as a code stamped on the transmission casing. If this is not possible, the model, year and engine of your vehicle can be used to identify the correct unit.
Manual or automatic gearbox on Chrysler vehicles?
Both exist, but most recent models (300, Pacifica, 200) use automatic gearboxes, sometimes with a large number of speeds.
Is it always necessary to replace a faulty gearbox?
No. A thorough diagnostic will determine the right course of action: a fluid change or the replacement of a few components is sometimes sufficient. An exchange gearbox is the best solution primarily in cases of widespread wear.
