    97 dodge caravan transmission shifting
    Can you tell me where the grounding points are on the engine (3.3 L) and trans (auto) are? I heard that by ensuring proper grounding, the auto trans problem might be solved. Im experiencing a problem only when going forward into 4th where the transmission hesitates then goes into 2nd gear. If I do not put the selector in "D" but put it in "3" then it shift up to the 3rd gear without problems. This means that my max speed would be about 60mph with the engine rpm at just more than 3000. So, will proper grounding of the engine/trans solve this problem of not being able to shift to 4th? Thanks

    Have you had a diagnostic scan done to determine if there are any codes stored in the computer? Sometimes the trans will store a code without turning on the light.

Hello, I have a 1995 Dodge Spirit. After a hard acceleration, the transmission doesn't shift properly. For example it will only shift into 3rd at about 90 km/h (~60 mph). The shift from 1st to 2nd also occurs at much higher than normal speed. Turning the car off and letting it sit for a...
