Transmission question
I have a 1991 Grand Caravan and a 1994 Caravan. Both have 3.3 liter V6 engines with 3 speed automatic transmission. My question is, can I swap the tranny of the 1994 Caravan into the 1991 Grand Caravan? The 1991 is AWD (all wheel drive) but the 1994 is not. Also, does anyone know where I can link to instructions for the removal and replacement of the transmission in a Caravan of the above years? [/align][/align]Thanks for any advice and help. [/align]

RE: Transmission question
The awd would not be utilizable as there is no space in the 94 for the driveshaft ue to the placement of the gas tank. Sensors would probably need to be swapped. Basics of the tranny are the same and will bolt up except you'll be elimating the transfer case (which if functional you'd probably get some money for), which will leave you with an opening that a coverplate will need to be found or made for.Haynes gives ok instructions for the removal of trannies. Good Luck

RE: Transmission question
Ooops...forgot about the speed sensor location for the 91'... A carry over from the prior body generation.(I remember having fun trying to pry mine out). I still think the swap is possible though not straight forward. Would probably be easier to trade the AWD tranny(if it works well) for the proper one at a junk yard. The AWD is probably worth more than a standard one.
