Transmission slipping on 2001 Dodge Grand Caravcan?

Answer 1

Once it starts slipping the clutches are already damaged. Slipping is caused by low hydraulic pressure to the clutch assembly. Low hydraulic pressure can be caused by: Low transmission fluid level, blocked or partially blocked Transmission Fluid filter, worn or cracked o-ring seals in the transmission valve body or worn or damaged hydraulic pump. Unfortunately, if it's anything except the filter or fluid level, it requries that the transmission be removed, rebuilt and replaced. While you can sometimes get by with just replacing the affectd part, other internal components are also worn and the transmission won't last long if you don't take care of everything.
