 Bryan,

The Code 32 is most likely a bad EGR valve. I just replaced one on my son's
1996 with the 3.5 over the weekend. It is not too bad a job, although its
location is at the rear of the engine and the space there is tight. The EGR
part you will likely need is found at:
http://www.autopart­splanet.com/search.a­sp?itemid=4287634AB&­Type=Accessories
It came with the exhaust manifold/metal gasket and 2 new bolts. To do the
job right, you will also need to replace the EGR tube EGR gasket as well as
the two EGR tube to intake manifold gaskets too. My son's 1996 had a lot of
carbon deposits built up that I cleaned out at the openings to the tube and
manifolds. Removing the battery negative cable during the job and
re-attaching afterward cleared the code and it once it re-learned the engine
it ran very well.

I do not know the cost of having the job done by a dealer or other service
shop, but it took us about two hours to remove and re-install, and some of
this time was cleaning the tube and manifold openings.

This could be the cause of the engine running rough and at a higher than
normal idle although, it could be something else as well since you do not
indicate when it was last tuned, PCV valve changed, ignition wires replaced,
etc.

On the transmission shifting rough, you also fail to say when you last
changed the fluid and filter. I do mine every 30K on all my Chryslers and
they all still shift like new.

Good luck.

Bob

 Bryan,

Here is a diagram I found of the EGR tube to EGR assembly. Hope it helps
you.

Click on EGR, then select the Image on the right of the screen.

 The PCV is very cheap and easy to get to. Just replace it if it has not
been done lately since it may be contributing to the EGR issue. And, while
you are there, make sure the rubber hose to it isn't cracked or leaking.

On the transmission fluid, I've had good luck with the re-sealable
silicone/metal gasket, the genuine MOPAR filter, and ATF+4, all only
available from a Chrysler dealer. I order these from Galeana Chrysler's web
site in South Carolina and they ship to arrive in about a week and there is
no sales tax for me as I am out of that state. The discount and no tax more
than covers the shipping. The parts guy there, by the name of Jasper, is
great at helping find exactly what you need via email.

 The high idle, need for a re-start, and hard shifting could all be the
result of a vacuum leak created by removing and re-installing the EGR.
Check all the vacuum tubes as well as all the EGR plumbing itself.
