Used Chrysler Transmission Models

Used Chrysler Transmission

Chrysler used a range of transmissions in their lineups from 1925 to now. Used Chrysler transmission comes in a huge range of options. Let's look at the evolution of Chrysler in terms of transmissions.

3-speed manual transmission

Albeit, in their early launch, Chrysler used a 3-speed manual in the first model. The 1925 Model B 70 proved a speedster for the time, at a top speed of 75 mph. Their 1929 65/66 proved a bit of an off-roader, again fitted with the 3-speed manual. The 1930 CJ was the final model before, Chrysler introduced 4-speed manual transmissions in the 30s. Later, the 1931 CD came fitted with a 4-speed manual transmission. During the 1930s, they launched models alternating between 3-speed and 4-speed manual transmissions.

The 1933 Royal CT pulled a horsepower of 90 hp, while fitted with 4-speed manual transmission. Later, they launched the 1933 CO, fitted with a 3-speed manual, back on the horsepower of 82 hp. The 1940s saw Chrysler switching to an automatic transmission for the most part. Chrysler juggled 3-speed and 4-speed automatics as well as the 3-speed manual transmissions in the decade to appeal to all generations.

Automatic transmissions

Chrysler ventured into automatic transmissions in their 1940 Traveller. The model used a 3-speed automatic transmission and a 5.3 L engine pumping up to 143 hp. A year later, they came up with the Newport Phaeton (1st Gen) using the 4-speed automatic transmission and returning identical horsepower. In the same year, they launched the Royal C28 with a 3-speed automatic transmission. Interestingly, in the same year, they launched the Town & Country (1st Gen) which came fitted with a 4-speed automatic transmission.

The 1946 Saratoga (4th Gen) using a 4-speed automatic did a 0 to 60 mph in just 15.5 seconds. Its 5.3 L engine produced horsepower of 135 hp and a top speed of 85 mph. Later, they came up with the 1948 Saratoga (4th Gen) which produced a horsepower of 180 hp and a top speed of 98 mph. The speedster for its time accelerated from 0 to 60 miles per hour in just 15.5 seconds.

Mainstreaming 3-speed Automatic

Chrysler tried alternating between transmissions between the 1940s and 1960s. They settled greatly for a 3-speed automatic transmission in the seventies. The 1971 CH established the trend of 3-speed automatic transmission in Chrysler models. Even more so, the focus shifts to speed, power, and performance. Its 5.8 L engine pumped a horsepower of 255 hp, reached a top speed of 121 mph, and accelerated from 0 to 60 mph in just 8.7 seconds. Later, they launched the 1971 Charger VH (1st Gen). Along with the 5.5 L engine, it pulled a horsepower of 275 hp, reached a top speed of 129 mph, and accelerated from a standstill to 60 mph in just 7.3 seconds.

Chrysler post CJ

A more civic version of this caliber is the 1973 CJ. CJ pulled off similar horsepower, reaching a top speed of 122 mph, and did a 0 to 60 mph in under 9 seconds. Then, you had things evolved to the 1973 Charger VJ (1st Gen) which reached top speed and 0 to 60 mph acceleration timings of 130 mph and 7.3 seconds respectively. In 1975, Chrysler came up with their CK model, which brought down 0 to 60 mph to just 7.7 seconds. A more civic and urban Cordoba (1st Gen) launched in the same year, did a 0 to 60 within 10 seconds. The same year also saw the speedster Charger VK (1st Gen) bringing down 0 to 60 mph timings to an even better 7.6 seconds. Later seventies even saw 3-speed automatics getting mainstream in other body types.

The 1977 Lebaron Wagon (1st Gen) with a proper station wagon body type, proved fast enough. Its 5.2 L engine produced horsepower of 120 hp, a top speed of 98 mph, and did 0 to 60 mph within 15 seconds. Even by the end of the 1970s, Chrysler manufactured performance models. The 1979 New Yorker (12th Gen) returned top speed and 0 to 60 mph timings of 116 mph and 10.6 seconds respectively. Moreover, Chrysler chose to stick with 3-speed automatics in the 1980s. Oddly you had 5-speed manuals, such as the 1980 Scorpion GH and 1987 Conquest. Chrysler did it to appeal to the hot-rods who wanted some exciting riding experience with manual transmissions. The Scorpion and Conquest delivered power, performance, and essentially, some exciting drive quality.

4-speeds in 1990s

The 1990s started the trend of 4-speed automatic transmissions in Chrysler models. The 1990 Lebaron (3rd Gen) reached a top speed of 119 mph and did a 0 to 60 mph within 11 seconds. The 2.9 L engine pumped up to 141 hp. Later, they fitted the 4-speed automatic transmission in their station wagon model, the 1990 Town & Country (1st Gen). Around this time, they came up with a supercar, fitted with a 6-speed manual too. The resulting model 1991 Viper RT used an 8 L engine pumping up a horsepower of up to 389 hp. The model reached a top speed of 165 mph and did a 0 to 60 mph in just 4.5 seconds.

Then, the 1994 LHW (1st Gen) reverted to a 4-speed automatic transmission. The 3.5 L engine produced 214 hp of power, reaching a top speed of 133 mph, and did a 0 to 60 mph in 8.8 seconds. Interstingly, they employed a 3-speed automatic transmission in the 1995 Neon. With a 2 L engine producing 131 hp, it reached a top speed of 121 mph and did a 0 to 60 mph in 8.8 seconds.
