The 2007 Dodge Charger used different transmissions depending on the engine and trim: a four-speed automatic on the V6 models, a five-speed automatic on the V8 Hemi RT, and a six-speed manual on the high-performance SRT8.
To understand how this breaks down, here is a concise guide to the standard transmissions you would typically encounter across the 2007 Charger lineup.
Transmission options by trim
Transmission choices varied by engine, with the V6 models using a four-speed automatic, the Hemi-powered R/T using a five-speed automatic, and the high-performance SRT8 built around a six-speed manual.
- Charger with 2.7L V6 or 3.5L V6: 4-speed automatic transmission
- Charger R/T with 5.7L Hemi: 5-speed automatic transmission
- Charger SRT8: 6-speed manual transmission
These options reflect the typical US-spec configuration for the 2007 Chargers. Availability could vary by market or production run.
Notes on performance-focused models
For the 2007 Charger SRT8, a six-speed manual Tremec transmission was used, aligning with its performance positioning. An automatic transmission was not offered for the SRT8 in that year in most markets, though later model years introduced automatic options on some performance variants.
Summary
In short, the 2007 Dodge Charger did not have a single universal transmission. It depended on the trim and engine: four-speed automatic for the V6 models, five-speed automatic for the V8 Hemi RT, and a six-speed manual for the SRT8. If you’re shopping for or maintaining a 2007 Charger, verify the exact drivetrain by VIN or build sheet to confirm the transmission specification for that specific vehicle.
