92 Dodge minivan strange problem

May 26, 2005 3 Replies

My 92 Dodge Caravan, lately has been acting funny. Early in the mornings, after starting it, put in gear, the car won't move. I sit and wait for several seconds, almost a minute sometimes, then the gear kicks in...and even then it's stuck on 1st gear, won't change gears even at high speed. The gears act normal afterif I stop, turn off the ignition and start up again. Is my transmission failing or the drive belts having a problem? TIA


fire it up and go straight to neutral in the morning for about a minute. then try it. report back.....

Sounds like you are having internal or electrical problems with the trans, its acting up in the morning and then going into a limp-in mode, take it to a dealer/trans shop to have the systems scanned for fault codes
