Default RE: 96 Grand Caravan Transmission Skips

Transmissions are a closed system with some fluid expansion from heat accounted for. If you can't afford $12 for a filter kit and roughly $25 for 5-6 qts ATF +4 and do a tranny service for starters, then I'd recommend you get the kids sidewalk chalk and draw a giant pentagram around the van and put used birthday candles in the corners for protection...... Or spend $10-$15 on some Trans-X or Tranny Medic in a can and hope that buys you some time.
