2001 Dodge Grand Caravan Transmission Issue
So, My GC is having some transmission issues. I was driving along and I felt my car "knock" a few times. When I stopped at a stop light after that, it wouldnt go forward at all. After towing my van to my house, I found that if I let it sit for a lil while, I can drive forward a small amount and then it stops, but I don't get reverse at all. I have been told its a transmission issue, and have already tried changing the filter and the solenoid block. Any other ideas? I know it might end up with a rebuild, but figured I would check and see if there were any other alternatives. It seems like I have 1st gear, but nothing else, and at that, I only have first gear tilll it tries to change to 2nd and then I lose everything. Any thoughts?

The OP is (was) a 1-poster, and after not showing up again for 2 years this usually means one and done. Probably bailed on his '01 after getting the estimate for a new/rebuilt tranny. But who knows, maybe he will surprise me
You said you're having "exactly" the same problem, but it's far more common to get regular limp mode where the van doesn't stall (just keeps running in second gear). So which version of this do you have - keeps going in second, or goes for just a bit then stalls?

So it sounds like you're getting the information second-hand, remote? Which would mean third-hand for folks reading your information, making diagnosis even more difficult than usual. It's always a good idea to post the basics - year, engine, mileage, and all repair/maintenance history which might be related to this problem. Plus you need to ask if the check engine light is on (and if so, what the codes are). Definitely best to get all possible information before starting to hang on parts.

Cracked piston doesn't happen in these engines very often. Why did they replace the tranny along with the engine? Or was that a separate event?
