Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Problems with transmission on 1999 chrysler convertible resulting in vehicle breaking down.*mr the consumer stated the first indication of a problem was a loud mechanical bang from the vehicle, followed by a rapid lost of transmission fluid and smoke when the fluid struck the exhaust system. the vehicle was towed the nearest dealer. after the differential cover was removed, it was determined that the retaining pin for the spider gear had been ejected from its seat with enough force to puncture the adjacent cover of the transmission, which resulted in the fluid lost. the locking pin which held the larger retaining pin in place had sheared off as well. *jb
