firstly, i have an 88 Dodge grand caravan with a 3.0L V6 engine
it has had this problem a while but ive been told it wasnt transmission problems by several mechanics.
the problems it has been having is that when the vehicle is initally put into Drive from park, the tranny seems to jump. once in drive the vehicle
only goes from 1st to 2nd gear and wont go up or down in gear after that. After the vehicle is running for awhile (about 30 minutes), it wont go into drive so it has to "cool down" for about 5 minutes. Problem is, it will always go into reverse.
i replaced the torque convertor like several mechanics suggested and i still have the same problem. i also used the "self diagnostic" referred to in the haynes manual, and got code 55, which just means nothing is showing up wrong in the transmission.
any suggestions would be appreciated
