Replying to: fng985 (Dec 27, 2008 12:08 pm) If the fluid levl is not full then its an internal transmission problem...make very sure the level is correct. Low fluid level can cause all of these complaints.

No...torque converter not siezed...unbolt the converter bolts will verify it.
#41 of 42 Shift LEVER is floppy, freely movable. 2000 by fleastiff Jul 28, 2009 (12:34 pm)
The shift lever moves freely without any resistance but it does not shift the gears. The transmission is presently in reverse and I can not shift the gears at all. Someone told me its a linkage problem but I have no idea what that means.
#42 of 42 Jerky Shifting by cach22 Aug 28, 2009 (11:01 am)
I have read all the posts in this forum and it sounds like the problem with my Venture is the pressure control solenoid in the transmission. I will try cleaning the MAF first to see if that helps at all. My 2000 Venture is shifting roughly. I have had the transmission flushed and added some cleaner (Sea Foam) brand. It seemed to do the trick for a while. But the improvement only lasted a week or so. Now the jerky shifting is back and it appears to be gradually getting worse. I just have a couple of questions. I have not noticed a whine (other than the power steering whine) that many have mentioned here. Will the pressure control solenoid be bad without making the whining noise? My second question is... Is it hard to get to the pressure control solenoid? I guess I am hoping that I can drop the pan and get to it that way rather than take it to a transmission repair shop for $900 worth of repairs.
