#1742 of 1833 1998 ply voyager transmission shifting by allenprimo913 Mar 02, 2009 (11:48 am)
i think i posted on the wrong page.   Anyway, i have a 1998 ply voyager that sounds funny everytime i drive it around. the transmission jerk a lil when it picking up speed like when it shifting but after that it runs fine until i have to slow down again then you can feel that jerk again, i am not sure if its a speed sensor or what? this is my first american car and my wife and kids love it and if possible i dont wanna get rid of it but if it cost me money along the way then i got no choice.   another problem is, the button switches for a/c , defroster, wiper on the back below the stereo blinks continously , sometimes turns off. Reason i dont know if my ac is on or off, is my defroster ON or OFF because the lights are blinking?   and the last one, i looked at the bottom part of the tranny, front side there is this hanging wire with white connector to it and i can not figure out where it supposed to be plugged in????   any help or input is highly appreciated.   thank you

Replying to: allenprimo913 (Mar 04, 2009 7:53 pm) I replaced both of them. They are fairly easy to get to. There were $17.00 and $18.00. Once you get the sensors, you will see what they look like. If I remember correctly, they take a 1" wrench to get out. You will need to remove the air filter box. Once you do that you can get to both sensors

Replying to: aggiemom1 (Feb 11, 2009 7:59 pm) I have a 2003 Grand Caravan. The first time the tranny failed it had 73k miles. The second time, 88k miles warranty just ran out so I had to eat that one. So far, both driver and passenger windows have failed, about 400 each, and the power doors are hosed. They tell me it needs new sensors. Steer Clear of the Dodge/Chrysler produts. They are going out of business for a reason. If you buy it, you better get a warranty. I won't make it to 100k and can't trade it in because no one wants it. Go with the Ford or at least research it some more. Replies to this message: shipo (Mar 11, 2009 5:55 am)

#1750 of 1833 T&C jerks when downshifting by dwsqrd Mar 10, 2009 (9:54 pm)
We have had a 2002 T&C (with about 90,000 miles now) for a little over a year and have had no problems until this past January. The van has started jerking when it downshifts around 30mph. Every once in awhile, it will jerk when shifting up from a low gear, but that is pretty rare. The fluid level is good and have been putting off taking it to a shop b/c we fear we'll be told we need something done that we really don't. Has anyone experienced this transmission problem?
