Did the ck engine lite come on, and if it did post the codes. Also can you tell us what was the last repairs were made.

 

I own a 2002 dodge caravan, when you start it and drive it does fine, but after running a few miles it will not shift out of first gear. I had it tested and it printed trouble shooting PO755 and PO700, this is telling me it could be the solenoid/pressure switch. Has anyone else had this problem? Any suggestions?

 

Welcome to DF
99% of the time the cause would be the solenoid pack assy. The other 1% would be a wiring problem. When was the last time the transmission was serviced? If it been a while, I would service the transmission and replace the solenoid pack.

 

I serviced the transmission two years ago. How often should it be serviced. Thank you.

I would service the transmission every 15k.

 

Hi, I came across your thread on transmission problems on a 1998 dodge grand caravan 3.8L. I was hoping you could help me being that you seem knowledgeable (20+ yrs )than these so-called MECHANICS. I had the transmission replace with a rebuilt in August/2011 and have returned 6 times because the check engine light keeps coming on with a code P0740 and P0700. First he changed an electronic part(possibly solenoid but not exactly sure) and lastly he changed the computer. Drove for a week or 2 and now the same thing. The same codes. This mechanic does nothing but transmissions and are clueless. Any ideas you can help me with?

 

Welcome to DF
The P0740 code is a no RPM drop for the torque converter. I do have the PDF file that the dealer use's. If you want a copy, just pm me your email address and I'll send it.

 

Rong45 what was the outcome on your problem? My Van is has the same codes..

 

Rong45 has been back on the forum since 12/20/2011. What are the codes you are getting? This way everyone can help you. Or you can send me a pm with the codes you are getting.
