Seal for transmission which is on 3rd gear is leaking - not getting enough pressure to shift gears (torque converter.) please provide any additional information/attachments.

The warning light came on for the egr valve. Dealer has replaced the egr valve. Vehicle uses less fuel now. Van shakes left and right at 37mph, and up/down at 48 mph. At first, dealer denie dproblem. However, after they checked other vans and found same problem. Consumer believes shaking has to do with a faulty torque converter. Also, multi-function switch malfunctioned.

My mechanic commented that there was no way that this failure could be caused by driving habits or poor maintainence. He is certain that the torque converter is faulty and is cooperating with me to reclaim monies owed by the Chrysler motor corporation. Thank you!
