Sorry if this is a duplicate post - I couldn't find anything like it
in the archives.

I have a Voyager van with about 175,000 kilometres on it (about 125K
miles ??).

I live in the snow belt. In the morning and sporadically the
transmission will act up. It will go into reverse or drive and work
fine for a bit. At the first stop - about a block - the transmission
feels as it goes into neutral. Press the gas and the engine races.
After a minute the transmission will engage and the van is fine for
the rest of the day. It is not slipping - it is just like it is in
neutral.

Any thoughts before I go the the shop and they suggest a $2000 rebuild
unit??

Thanks
Scotty

Your calculator is broken. That's less than 110,000 miles.

Plymouth Cars were named for a certain brand name of twine.

I just guessed, sorry.

As for the twine thing - huh???

I should mention that fluid was first thing checked - sorry not to
note it. It has been recently changed - but not the filter. I guess
I can do that but didn't want to if the thought if the whole
transmission has gone south.

Thanks
Scotty

what engine do you have ?
if you have the 3.0 then check the kickdown lever on the trans and makes
sure it moves freely and moves with the throttle movement if not lube the
linkage at the trans
if it is a 3.3 or 3.8 then have it checked for codes after you check trans
fluid level
