2001 Caravan SE- Won't go into gear
Hi everyone, I am hopign that maybe someone can give me some insight on what may be worng. I have a 2001 Caravan SE, approx 115,000 miles.
My husband drove to work it was fine, when he tried to leave the drive way from work he started the van, put it in drive, started to drive out of the driveway, got about 25 feet from the driveway and the van stopped he heard kinda like a popping sound then it didnt want to move it seemed as though it was in nuetral. When he put the shifter in to park it made a grinding noise. He tried to put the van in to the other gears and nothing. No sound no feeling of any kind. There was no fluids on the ground, nor any parts.
I called a few tranny shops, assuming it may be the problem and they are saying that it may be the differencial. Others are saying that it may be the CV Axle... what do you think? Can anyone help??? We really dont have the money if it were to be the tranny...

Now it isnt doing anything but grinding when put into park.

we were told that if the van were on the ground and in drive or reverse and we step on the gas if the speedometer moves then it was an axle if it didnt then it was the tranny. We did that and it did infact move so we changed BOTH axles filled tranny fluid and now it drove about 50 ft then stopped as if it was in neutral. put in gear drove alittle ways again then did the same thing, this time it grinded alittle when was put in park. We pushed it into the parking space put it in park took foot off the brake and it continued to roll forward,
