2002 grand caravan Transmission in "Limp mode"
 

I have the generic P0700 code on the od display...

The van bucks if you hit the accelerator, and failes to shift out of the
lower gears..

Then goes back to somewhat normal conditions,,, then goes back,.,,

Anyone have this problem?

Sure. Those who have the problem are generally those who can't be
bothered to check the fluid level, much less change it and the filter
every now and then.

There's a clue in there for ya.

Right.......... so you *did* check/change the fluid and filter, then.

I'm not the one with the tranny problems, dimwit.

I'm betting this fixes your problem, but you won't have the balls to come
back here and say that I was correct.

Well, since you don't worry about the tranny dipstick, you are now in the
position you are in, which is having a tranny in Limp Mode. Do you see
the connection here yet...?

> Tell me... big balls, what state do you live in...? Just curious.?

I don't live in a state.

Go change your ****ing tranny fluid and filter, and then come back here
and tell me I was right, boy.

Oh.. Hi Dan.

Not going to continue with this nitpicking.

Anyway, the filter and fluid change produced 0 results.

Still going into limp mode....

Noticed the speedometer is jumping around... perhaps a wonky speed sensor.

I have a 2000 Caravan that stared bucking a bit on the highway, the
speedometer was jumping around and then went to limp mode if I
remember right. It turned out to be the tranny output sensor which
was on the outside and accessible from the driver wheel well after
removing the water shield.
