While the van is idiling are the gears ( 1 2 3 d n r p) all circled?
Mine had the same issue and turned out to be the trans solenoid pack.

Thanks for the reply, right now they are not circled. But now to think of it, it has lightened all up in the past but goes off as soon as I put it in gear and occured only few times. Also what I noticed is when I am at a complete stop like at the stop light, the engine feels like it's wanting to die out, so I put it in Neutral give it a little rev and then its fine. Now when the car is in idle, I can hear a little squeaky, clinking noise around the engine/trans area and still won't go into any gear

We changed the output shaft speed sensor, changed the trans fluid and filter. Engine check light is off. But now have Code PO736 (Reverse Incorrect Ratio). Car will not move in park position like it suppose too, but goes forward in Reverse. Any help or comment is appreciated. Thanks
