Dodge Caravan Se 1992. Transmission / half shaft problem

[Skaddi]

Hi

I need some help with my van. I have owned this van for eight yers now. and always used Mopar fluid. I have shanged the fluid on every 6000 miles. and for three last times i used atf+4. Now i am experiencing some strange things when i am driving and coming to a stop, the transmission seems to be hesitating in shifting down to stop, by the way, this van has only be driven 60.000.miles. Is it possible that the fluid is doing this? or maybe the speed sensor ?, Any suggestions ?

Another thing that i need some answers, Recently my van is giving strange noises from the inner CV axle area. It only happens when turning left or right and accelarating.

Thanks.

As far as the noises around the CV area. I noticed with these vans that a common problem is tie rod ends. I have owned many of these vans and every one of them had tie rod problems. It is easier to change the whole arm, seeing that you have to take the arm off anyway and then take off the tie rod end or CV boot. I would suggest getting a new tie rod arms on both sides. I'm almost sure this is your problem. As far as the tranny fluid goes I don't understand these tranny's very well they are very complicated! Sorry!

I am taking the van later today to mechanic. and look at this, i will take notice of the arm. Thanks.
