Thanks for the replies guys! =)
So drive train huh?? and a/c ! HAH! I just learned how to recharge my own a/c this summer... SCORE!!!
Okay--well the first thing other caravan owners that I know ask me is "Have you had the tranny rebuilt yet?" And when I said no, they were like, WWOOOOOOWW REALLY?!?? So after 6 people this year said the same thing, I knew it was about time. Sure enough, this summer, I drove to Eugene Oregon,got about a block from my friends house, made a quick stop at the gas station for a tasty beverage and came out, started the car, put it into reverse, and .... NOTHING. just killed the engine. Engine started fine, but I was NOT going anywhere.
So long story short.. took it AAMCO and had them rebuild it---cost me just under $2400 !! man, i was NOT expecting that. I thought $1500, maybe $1800....
But right away, I noticed it shuddering a little (sometimes a lot) when I put it in reverse, and into drive and when it's shifting thru the gears...like something is just not quite right... it drives, but it's not 100%....more like 85%...
So having read on here about some other similar situations, i'm kinda rolling with the idea that maybe the TCM needs to be Flashed again.... because sometimes it doesn't quite take the first time. Anyone have a similar scenario happen to them? And what was your outcome? I figure -- doing the Flash will cost me $100 and an hour of time, versus, driving all the way back up to Eugene for 6 hours and $120-$130 in gas.... and if that doesn't fix it, THEN i'll make the trip to Eugene.
In the meantime, any other suggestions?? Does anyone else here think I'm on the right track?
