The Dodge dealer were I went, is ready to change the oil, change the seal, but will not change the T-case, as the can’t refer to the 6 speeds T-case for a 1992, the computer system won’t let them do it, the service manager called Dodge Canada and they said NO!

I’m trying a different approach, when I show up at the dealer with my recall paper they never check the serial # on my car and it’s a small dealer were they never work on Stealth.

So what I did, is call the wrecker where I got my 6 speeds part and ask them for the 1994 serial #. After I registered the 94 with Daimler Chrysler and now all I need to do is wait for the recall to come in for the 1994 Stealth TT.

I hope this works!!!
Why is it dealers always have to make problems where there isn't any. The recall is for the transfer case, am I right? The transfer case on a 6 speed is the same as the transfer case on a 5 speed, so tell them to just enter a 5 speed. I don't even understand why the transaxle # of speeds is even on the form. It is already known by the year except maybe late 93, but the VIN should reveal the transaxle. I could see if the transfer case caused damage to the transaxle and it also had to be replaced under warranty that they wouldn't replace it with a 6 speed, but the recall only includes the transaxle if there is damage directly related to a transfer case lockup and in this case that is not the issue.
Your idea probably won't work because the car you got the 6 speed out of probably has a wrecked title if you got it from a wrecker and it would show in their records as such and also be titled to the wrecker and a dead recall, not showing you as the rightful owner. You have to use your own VIN and tell them to just list it as a 5 speed because warranty would not cover the 6 speed conversion. Your 6 speed does have 5 speeds doesn't it?
