If you have a Grand Van than I suspect you have the 41TE 4 Speed Overdrive trans. If it has a 3.3 or 3.8 Engine than it is definetly a 4Spd. There are no bands in this unit but I do stress that you only use the Chrysler ATF+3 Fluid and filter easy to do yourself. Do not even think about Dexron it will destroy the trans and your wallet. The fluid is a bit more expensive but nothing compared to to building the trans.
