Talk:Dodge Dynasty

message: In order to be considered a full-size vehicle a car must feature a wheelbase exceeding 110 in. I seriously doubt that the Dynasty qualifies as a full-size vehicles, as this would put the Dynasty in the same class with significantly larger vehicles such as the 7-Series, Crown Victoria, or Grand Marquis. I think the "Mid-size" classification would be more appropriate. Regards, Signaturebrendel 05:58, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

message: In the article it is mentioned that the 3.3L V6 was only available with the 4-speed automatic. However, I am the owner of a 1991 Dodge Dynasty with the 3.3L V6 and the 3-speed automatic. It has 59,000 miles and no signs of any transmission problems, though it has been sitting idle for a long time.
:Are you sure you've got a 3-speed? If your transmission display has a "3" on it, then you've got a 4-speed. AFAIK, Chrysler only used the A670 for the Dynasty until the A604 came out for 1989.
I am fairly sure that my car does not have the 4-speed. There is no "3" on the gear display and it does not have the overdrive indicator. Also, I am sure the engine is a 3.3 because I recently had to replace a spark plug coil pack on it, and the coil pack was not part of the 3.0L. If indeed I do have this pairing, my car is a true anomaly since several sites including Allpar state that the 3.3 was ONLY compatible with the A604. This is truly strange.
:It is entirely possible your car has had the instrument cluster replaced with one from a 3.0L or 2.5L Dynasty.  Best way to know for sure is look at the transmission pan...
:Rectangular, two sides noticeable longer than the other two, it's a 3-speed A413/A670. (photo) http://webbcon.com/patio/images/transpans/670pan.jpg
:More square, side the same length but one is "bent", it's a 4-speed A604. (photo) http://webbcon.com/patio/images/transpans/604pan.jpg
:I hope this clears that up.  EPA Fuel Economy website only shows 4-speed automatics with either V6, all years 1989 to 1993.  I have never seen a 3-speed behind a V6 in a Dynasty, minivans or Spirits/Acclaims sure, but never a Dynasty.  1988 models could have a 3.0 V6 and the 3-speed, that's it.  From 1989 on, the overdrive was a mandatory option when the V6 was ordered.  By the time the 3.3L engine came around in 1990 models, it was designed only for use with the 4-speed.  Same goes for the larger 3.8L engine in the minivans, 4-speeds only.  Check those raw text files on the EPA fuel economy website and you'll see, the '88's are the only year a 3-speed could be had behind a V6.
:I don't want to be a bother here but I've owned four of these vehicles.  '89 4-cylinder, '92 3.3L, '93 3.0L, and '93 3.3L.  I've driven dozens more and looked at hundreds in junkyards and on used car lots.  True, I may not have seen them all, but I've seen enough to know better.Alanmoore78 (talk) 05:47, 25 August 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  3 Speed mated to 3.3L? 

message: Nope, as far as I recall, this car was never marketed in Mexico. Closest cars to this one were the New Yorker and the LeBaron. Aside from the K cars from back then (Dart K, Volare, etc.).  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.33.166.40 (talk) 01:36, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
