I'm looking for someone who might have updated service information on the
1995 Caravan line. I'm trying to positively identify which of the two possible 3-speed automatic transmissions I might have in order to select a potential used replacement.
Row 1 of the fender tag starts out with code DGA -- this code is absolutely clear. Unfortunately, the FSM I have only identifies DGC and DGM as options.
The transmission itself has two copies of the same casting number -- one on top of the case, one on the rear of the case above the pan flange. This casting number is 426-6, in block characters.
According to what I can find out using the interchange info online, 1994 &
1995 were "separate years" for the 3-speed automatic. Earlier years with the same bodystyle may or may not interchange -- I can't establish that. If someone happens to know, please tell me.
By the way, this is a 3.0L V6 - short wheelbase base model vehicle. The first 11 digits of the VIN are 2B4GH2531SR. If it helps, the GVWR class appears to be 5001-6000lbs.
And yes, I killed it with neglect, and I'm feeling appropriately shameful.
Thanks.
