1996 Chrysler Town & Country
Hi, I have a question? Our 96 t and c went into limp mode a few days ago. We took it to Aamco (As they diagnosed it for free) and the guy stated we need a rebuild with the price tag of 1895.00. He also gave me 3 codes
36
53
74
I'm not 100% positive but i thought that the codes should start with a p?
Also the trans was rebuilt 14 months ago, the fluid is full and still pink. Is there something i should check/replace before i go out and spend almost 2 grand on it? Please help us out as we really cannot afford that. I am also mechanically inclined. Thank You

I can only find 53 for 1996... that's an internal computer failure. You can check the numbers yourself by cycling the ignition key On-Off-On-Off-On and watching the Check Engine light... it will flash in sequence.
36 would be 3 flashes followed by a pause, then 6 flashes. There is a 4-second pause between codes. A flash of "55" means it's done.

As for the trans itself, I'd speak to whomever rebuilt it 14 months ago. If you were having any kind of major trans problems, the first thing to usually go is overdrive. I would also have the radiator and cooling system checked, as that can affect trans operation since the trans fluid cooler works in parallel with the radiator. An overheating condition could have caused the limp mode.
