Eight-Speed Automatic Transmission - Dodge SRT Hellcat Owner's Manual

Eight-Speed Automatic Transmission

The transmission gear range (PRNDM) is displayed both
on the shift lever and in the Driver Information Display
(DID).
To select a gear range, press the lock button on the shift
lever and move the lever rearward or forward. You must
also press the brake pedal to shift the transmission out of
PARK, or to shift from NEUTRAL into DRIVE or RE-
VERSE when the vehicle is stopped or moving at low
speeds (refer to "Brake/Transmission Shift Interlock Sys-
tem" in this section). Select the DRIVE range for normal
driving.
Automatic Transmission Shifter
The electronically-controlled transmission provides a
precise shift schedule. The transmission electronics are
self-calibrating; therefore, the first few shifts on a new
vehicle may be somewhat abrupt. This is a normal
condition, and precision shifts will develop within a few
hundred miles (kilometers).
