I have a problem with my transmission. 83k miles. It doesn't change gears but that only happens when engine is hot. When is cold it's fine. It looks like it's on 1st gear while driving.
I went to the shop but I was told right away that I need new (rebuild) transmission for $1500 installed. it felt like a scam. I was reading that too much fluid may cause this problem so I checked and it was too much. Removed some fluid so now is in correct level but still gears won't shift. I had codes pulled and it was one for solenoid and one for tcm.
I appreciate any help.

thanks

Norbert

 

what were the codes? P0700 and P0750.

 

p0700 for sure but the other one i don't know since it was read by a guy and he only showed me description. 700 code i read from instrument cluster myself. I'll go to the shop again and ask for the code numbers.

thank you

 

codes are:
p0700
p0755
p1775


thanks

 

P0755 is a 2/4 solenoid circuit code. try replacing the solenoid pack, and clear the codes.

 

How can I tell what type of transmission i have. I want to buy solenoid pack and I need to make sure I'm getting correct part. Can you please provide me with mopar part number for 2001 Gr caravan 3.3 solenoid pack.

thank you

 

Because a 3.3 doesn't have 3 speed transmission. And there is only one solenoid pack.

 

Before I do that, is this a common problem that solenoid is bad?
Like i've said before when engine is cold it shifts all gears and when hot it's stuck on one.
If solenoid would be bad it would still be able to shift when cold?
If put so much money into this van that I'm want to make sure that it won't be wasted.

Thank you again
