1992 grand car... tranny problems
i own a 1992 grand caravan, 3.36l w/4 speed trans. about a year ago it stared going into limp mode. i brought it to a trans specialist who told me it needed to be rebuilt. when taxes came around in march i got it rebuilt w/ a 1 year warrenty, $1600. they also replaced the selenoid packthe first time. a week later it was out again so i brought it back. they kept it this time for two weeks. they replaced the battery, selenoid(again), and the transmission computer. again i drove it home (30 miles) a week later it was out again. when i brought it back this time they said it was an electrical problem and said they would pay to have it brought to an electrical specialist for a diagnostic. three days later the guy calls me and says he fixed it and it would cost me $650.i was angry since i never told them to work on it without calling me. again i drove it home only to send it back to the ele. specialist one more time the next day. then it was fine for about six months. then one night my wife and kids were out with it and it went out of gear completely about 3 blocks from the house so they walked home and before i could get back to get it(30 min.) it had been towed. anyway when i picked it up about 1 and ahalf hours later it drove fine. a few days later it went out again while i was driving. all forward gears were gone except reverse. i left it to sit about 2 hours and when i came back it drove fine. when i brought it to the trans place they said a diode had gone out in the computer($100) then the last time i brought it they replaced the selenoid again(#3 in 9 months, oh yeah and the computer #2) the stange thing the last 2 weeks is that when it was below freezing it never had a problem but when it warmed up it will go into limp mode after a few miles. PLEASE HELP!!! I have spent over $2700 ont this trans problem and no one can fix it.. HELP!!
