The van will not move in drive or reverse. it will start to go forward for a few feet and then it will stop moving forward and the engine will rev up. I've already changed the transmission fluid and filter. It started yesterday after I added some SuperTech transmission fluid. It had Valvoline Synthetic ATF+4 in it when I added the fluid.

Retrace your steps to ensure that the filter is installed correctly. ATF+4 is the correct fluid. And it's not likely that the transmission "suddenly" developed problems. It's more likely that the filter and etc was improperly reinstalled. Sounds to me that the transmission filter is not making a good seal to the valve body. Sucking air makes strange things happen.

SOURCE: Is it ok to use

If your car calls for ATF 4 transmission fluid, then yes. Check your owners manual for the correct fluid.

If you don't have a copy of your owners manual, you can register for free at the Toyota owners site and get a copy: http://www.toyotaownersonline.com/Owners/reg.do

SOURCE: transmission want go in gear want move when put in drive

You have to use ATF4 transmission fluid for the dodge caravan. If you changed the fluid and the filter, a quick relearn has to be performed by a technician. It requires a special computer device. Hope this helps.

SOURCE: Drained atf, added 5 quarts of new atf, shows way

The atf fluid level can only be checked when the car is running and at temperature (not cold) the level will be high when the car is not running

Transmission issue w/Ford Taurus?

Sorry to tell you this. You have an AXOD/AX4N Transmission and it is going bad on you. Soon, it is going to strand you on the road.

This Transmission is a Money Maker for the Mechanics and Transmission shops around the world.

Some people will put Lucas into their transmissions to extend the life of the Transmission but there are people who do that and cause it do DIE!!!! and I mean Immediately.

I am sorry to give you the bad news but at least it is Honest...
