All of the sudden my van will not shift and it makes a grinding noise on reverse. I have code p0700 p0720 and p0736. My van is 2001 dodge caravan no overdrive. also sometimes it cathces on drive but it only jerks forward once.
SOURCE: My 2001 Dodge Caravan's transmission is stuck in reverse.
Things haven't changed much...look on top of the transmission in the engine compartment and look at the shifting linkage. Look for anything that could be interfering with the shifting. One linkage is the cable to the Shift Lever and Rod that goes down into the transmission. Remove the cable adjustment screw.
Move the shift lever rod towards the front of the Van into the Park Indent Position. Place the Driver's Position (Dash) Shift Lever into Park and then reconnect the Cable to the Shift Lever and tighten down the cable adjustment screw to 70 in-lbs.
Check operation's

Testimonial: "Your solution was "right-on-the-money". The cable connection at the transmission was "flapping-in-the-breeze". I just reinstalled & tightened. Thanks!"

The transmission is probably shot. the only other thing could be dirty linkage if you mean "hard" as in hard to move the shift lever. The first thing I would do is get a tranny fluid and filter change.

Check the wire harness, make sure there are no breaks or crushed wires. Also check the wire harness to the TCM, look for any loose connections. Good luck and keep me posted. Be glad to help.
