I have just bought this van it will not pull in any gear unless you turn the switch off & on a few times & it will say done under the speed od the it will move for a while & then stop pulling untill you do the key deal It has a Jasper tranny in it & it done this afer about 75,000 miles can any one help me @ all Dont need to wast money on it if i dont know where to start
TKS Greg :confuse:
Van slips into neutral about 50% of the time when I hit the brakes, and won't engage back into gear unless I rev the engine over 2500 rpms, then it slams into gear. It will also sometimes stall after the gear engages. The computer is giving me 2 codes, P0736 (reverse ratio incorrect) and code P1784, which I can't seem to find anywhere on the net. Replaced input/output speed sensors and the solenoid pack, no dice. It has 145k miles on the original tranny, so I wouldn't be surprised if it's time for a new one.
Edit: found code P1784: Transmission mechanical failure, first and reverse.
Another thought is that you have a broken motor mount or two, and when you accelerate, your engine and transmission come out of alignment and damage the CV joint.

I own a Chrysler Grand Voyager 3.3 automatic -93, it has 300.000 kms on the clock..
yeah, its old, i know ;o) but i've grown pretty attached to it ;o)
Anyway. Today, out of fhe blue. It will not change gears!! I can drive it, but it is stuck in 2. or 3. And at the same time, the speedometer went dead. The
transmissionfluid is ok.
Any good ideas?
Best regards, 727 Denmark
do they have another name..? Because i can't find them in the Haynes manual.

Good Luck.
Pray you are not pulling a trailer or have your family in the Van when or if that ever happens.
My van is a 2000 Grand Caravan.
I bought a 94 town & country from a private owner here in my town and was told that the motor had been replaced with a rebuilt one less then 50,000 miles ago and the purr that it produces leads me to believe that is true but just yesterday I had to tell my wife to pull off the freeway because I felt it was not shifting and rpms were going sky high.
Now we cannot go past 35 mph without stressing the vehicle as it appears to be stuck in 2nd gear if it indeed has a four speed automatic counting the OD.
Any help would be highly appreciated since I need to get to work and it is 25 miles away and it is the only vehicle I currently have for me and the wife&kids.
Please advise me as what steps I need to take, I have checked the tranny fluid and it is full.
If they are the issue then how much more or less would they cost and how hard are they to remove then install?
If it is a sensor they are relatively cheap, round 30 dollars and easy to change, They simply screw into the side of the transmission, you do need a 1 inch socket though. Keep in mind bad connections and wiring can cause the same code.
Thanks now I only have one little issue Autozone said they no longer pull the fault codes and I have called my local Napa Auto Parts and they said they do not do it either.
I got a tip from a co-worker who said I can find my reader at harbor freight for really cheap but to add to my recent string of bad-luck I have had the readers were for models ranging from 1996 and above my van is a 94.
So is there any other places to look where I can have the codes pulled free of charge?
I am located in Central California "Fresno Area"
Thanks in advance like always all help is greatly appreciated!
If you think that a sensor may be causing this issue I believe you should be able to purchase aOBD2 reader for approx 50.00$ since your vehicle is a "97"
If you have a harbor freight near by you they would have a reader approx 50.00$
I'm pretty handy mechanically and wondered about R&R the tranny and open it myself. I dont have $2k for a new tranny and it jsut seems wrong to have to spend that kind of money on a vehicle with less than 70k on it.
Just to clarify the vehicle is a 94 Chrysler t&c 2WD 3.8L
Thanks!
Sorry, no simple answer because no simple problem.
There are an enormous number of reasons why your trans is in limp mode and this requires very careful step by step diagnosis. Aren't your mechanics hooked into ALLDATA? They give a very precise way of checking everything, from relays to TMC to overdrive switch to internal seal leaks to excessive clutch clearances. just to name a few possibilities here.
Sorry, no simple answer because no simple problem.
this sounds trivial but its a long shot at best check your connections at the speed sensors if they are loose they can create issues. as far as the shifting issue to me this sounds more like a computer malfunction than a trans issue. transmission shops are very easger to tell a costumer "oh your trans is malfunctiong" or some other excuse to talk you into getting big cash out of your wallet and ive seen it before. these shops should be able to pinpoint what is wrong with the trans with alldata. i have the software on my home computer (laptop) =( though that doesnt help you none. call as many shops as you can and get different opinions.
Please help!
Was wondering if i changed vavle body if that might fix it or is it done and requiring a new one?
thanks
Can you please now instruct me as to what steps I will need to take so i can get this van back up and running normal again?
I bought the van and trailered it home.
Today when the license plates arrived I let the van run a long time outside ( 8 degrees outside). The first time driving the van at normal engine temperature - the transmission will not shift out of low.
I have reverse and low. No check engine lights are on.
The fluid is a nice bright red and filled to the full line.
The dealership - Buhler in Hazet, New Jersey will not assist in any repairs or refund.
Any adivse would be helpful as I have to sell one of my work trucks or cars to fix my wifes new/used mini van.
and did you bring engine up to redline and stilled didn't shift?The reason i ask this is because these trannies will shift even if you have it in low on gear selector when approaching redline engine will make tranny shift that is if it has the 4 speed electronic tranny.and that could be an indication of a bad selector sensor or kick down cable stuck down.
