  1. ABSOLUTE AND SUCH AN INCREDIBLE MULTIPLE PARTS ON THIS 1998 CTAC… NOW I FIND MYSELF IN THE SAME SITUATION ON MY 98 CTAC, TRANSMISSION SHIFTING ISSUES.. REPLACE THE TRANS. SHIFTING SOLENOID, INPUT & OUTPUT SPEED SENSOR, TRANS. OIL FILTER AN NEW OIL, CRANKSHAFT SENSOR… AND YET STILL HAVING ISSUES WITH SHIFTING, IN OTHER WORDS LIMP MODE SHIFTS 1ST TO 2ND TO 3RD, BUT WON'T SHIFT INTO OVERDRIVE, INSTEAD REVS. RPM'S AND DW.SHIFTS A GEAR. IT'S PRETTY FRUSTRATING HOWEVER VARIOUS SHOPS HAVE SCANNED IT AND NO TRAN. CODES ANYMORE AFTER REPLACING INPUT AN OUTPUT SPEED SENSORS.. NOW HERE'S MY QUESTION MR. ERIC, TRANS. HAS NO ISSUES IN DRIVE FWRD. OR REV. , COULD BE POSSIBLE THE TORQUE CONV. BE SOMEHOW THE ISSUE NOT LETTING IT SHIFT PROPERLY? NEVERTHELESS THE TRANS. HAS TO COME OFF EITHER WAY. I WOULD APPRECIATE IT SO MUCH YOUR HONEST OPINION MY BROTHER… IN THE MEANTIME I'LL BE REPLACING RADIATOR AND STARTER… THANK YOU SIR

  2. I like that you don't just cut your video to make it look like no struggling took place. Thank you for showing the struggle.

  3. You sound like me when working on Mopar or even Ford products.
    Unfortunately every manufacturer has it's cons when working on them.

  4. That Q Bond is some good stuff. I've actually repaired radiators with it before. Also if you are in a pinch you can use baking soda with super glue for similar but less effective results.

  5. I have a 97 Plymouth Grand Voyager that is close to this video. Only thing I have is a 3 speed tranny and its a 31th model. Even the front mount is wore out. I attacked it today and everything is the same. Thanks for the video!!!

  6. Hi Eric/folks whoever can help, I am trying to replace the differential bearings on a 1999 dodge caravan which I think same as your demo van. I need to take the differential out of the transmission but obviously the removal of the whole transmission is quite a big work for a backyard mechanic. I am thinking to remove the front and rear engine mounts and tilt up the engine from the front a little bit to give room to roll out the differential from the back. Do you think it is gonna workout? I am not sure if there is enough room to release when the engine is pushed to the front. if yes, will the side engine mounts support the engine well enough to rotate? I appreciate if you can give me some tip about this project, as long as without transmission removal Thanks in advance.

  7. Every shop needs a 6 foot long piece of 1" 1 /2" steel pipe for a pry / breaker bar extension
    It will loosen ALL rusted Bolts and Nuts OR ELSE !.

  8. EricTheCarGuy how long would it take with a estimation on replacing something like a radiator or a transmission individually if you were to only have to replace one of them. Also keep in mind from a un experienced guy. Thank You

  9. What is that tool you used (little notched screw driver looking thing) to pull the coolant lines off at ~12:30? I just replaced the heater hoses on my wife's town and country and it would have been super handy. That pipe flange makes those hoses so tight I thought for sure I was gonna bust a hole in a fuse box or puncture my wrist every time my pliers slipped off at 100mph tugging on those things :-).

    Awesome set of videos, learning a lot. I am starting to see the "value" in spending more in repairs than what my truck is "worth" on the market.

  10. Once again Eric comes thru with just the video I need. It's like he knows what will break on me next and wants to ease my pain.

  11. every time I have had to remove the axle nuts, I end up having to use a cheater bar around five ft long, plus I only do it on the ground, because when I use jack stands I almost rock the car off of em, and I do use my impact wrench, as a first resort, most chrysler transmissions use ATF that you can only buy at the dealer, Is that true?
