No, I don’t own a Dodge caravan, and the only transmission problem I had in the past was in 1976 on a Mercury Comet with a C-4 transmission. That cost $195 to repair.

Have a 2014 and the 6 speed they use is probably the worst shifting car I have ever had . It worked much better before they added the 2 extra gears a few years ago .

Put in reverse and it doesn’t clunk and then shift directly to drive. No clunk.
