OK I just got finished rebuilding my wife's 1989 Voyager or at least the engine and front-end. The transmission had been replaced a few years ago. Now my question is does the electronics fail first then takes out the rest of the transmission because it is trying for reverse and forward at the same time or does the transmission just fail like most of mechanical transmission from heat ? I does seem that the transmission computer is always replaced when a transmission goes out. I am questioning if I should replace the computer now and maybe save a transmission bill 3 or 4 years down the road. I live in NR Country, that is NO Rust not No Rednecks, so the rest of the van is in very good shape or I would have never taken this project on.
Thanks Ron
