2009 Dodge Challenger SE Rallye Package with 5 Speed Transmission

At a Southern California Mopar event this weekend, Dodge unveiled a new Rallye package for the Challenger SE and announced that starting next month, all V-6 Challengers will come with a five-speed automatic transmission, replacing the four-speed.


Chrysler LX Platform Chief Engineer Tony Elias told fans at the fourth annual Spring Festival of LXs that Chrysler had listened to their feedback and has now replaced that old four-speed automatic transmission found in V-6 Challengers with the same five-speed automatic found in V-8 Challengers, which features an Auto Stick manual shifting feature.
