    Is the TSB your talking about?

    TSB#: 21-003-06

    Date: February 18, 2006

    Models: 2005-2006 LX (300/Charger/Magnum)

    NOTE: This bulletin applies to LX/LE vehicles equipped with a NAG1 transmission (sales code DGJ) that were built prior to December 2005 with a TRANSMISSION build date of July 08, 2005.

    Subject: Dipstick Tube Seal May Leak Causing ATF Contamination Or Transmission Shudder/Buzz

    Overview: This bulletin involves tests to be performed on the transmission to determine the integrity of the transmission oil fill tube seal. Dependent upon test results: the oil tube seal will require replacement, the transmission may require a flush procedure, and/or the transmission torque converter may require replacement.

    Symptom/Condition: Water may leak past the transmission oil fill tube (dipstick tube) seal. Dependent upon the amount of water accumulation in the transmission oil, the customer may experience a transmission shudder vibration and/or an audible high frequency buzz-like sound. The shudder vibration or buzz-like sound may be most noticeable during light acceleration where partial application of the torque converter clutch (TCC) in 3rd, 4th, or 5th gear occurs.

    The shudder/buzz condition may be due to the torque converter clutch and a “stick-slip” condition caused by contaminated transmission oil/fluid. The transmission fluid contamination may be caused by water intrusion past the transmission fill tube seal.

    That may be the one you're talking about... But I'm betting this is the one Chris is talking about and had done.

    (actually I think I remember when he found the puddle under the car).
