What transmission does a Dodge Avenger have?
The Dodge Avenger uses a four-speed automatic transmission in all model years (2007–2014). There is no factory manual option. Some trims offer a manual shift mode (AutoStick) that lets you simulate manual gear selection, but the gearbox remains a four-speed automatic.
In more detail, the Avenger was offered with two engines during its production run—a 2.4-liter inline-four and a 3.5-liter V6—and both were paired with the same four-speed automatic transmission in front-wheel-drive configurations. There was no option for a five- or six-speed manual transmission in any model year. The AutoStick feature, when equipped, provides manual gear selection without a clutch.
Transmission details by engine
Below is a quick breakdown of how the two engine options were paired with the transmission.
- 2.4-liter I4: paired with a four-speed automatic transmission. No factory manual option; AutoStick is available on some trims for manual-like shifting.
- 3.5-liter V6: paired with a four-speed automatic transmission as well; AutoStick manual shift mode is available on certain trims.
Regardless of engine, Dodge Avenger models from 2007 to 2014 use a four-speed automatic transmission as their sole automatic option, with potential AutoStick manual shift on select trims.
Summary
Bottom line: The Dodge Avenger does not come with a manual transmission; it uses a four-speed automatic across its production years, with some trims offering an AutoStick manual shift mode to simulate gear selection.
