First make sure that this transmission is definitly compatible. Sebring had more than one option I believe.

IF it is, then the TCM ( transmission control Module) needs to have a re-learn procedure performed. This must be done with a scanner that is capable of doing this. Certain criteria must be met before the procedure is done. This is all done through the DLC.
