Drop the K member (that big frame under the front end. Suspend the engine....support it up a little. Good luck. Before you swap the tranny...check the torque converters....they have a locking clutch that is designed to slip every time it shifts and you may end up replacing an expensive transmission (you'll get a new converter with it) and your old one will be OK. Check it out.....good luck.

After putting 3 transmissions in our Caravan in 1 year, I'd say ditch it and get something else. If not, spend the money and get a Jasper with a good warranty. Let someone else do it so THEY have to do the work AND you can make them fix it again if you have problems under the warranty.

reid2015 is absolutely right except for he forgot to mention that you should fold all the seats down and pack the back full of explosives and light the fuse and push it over a cliff while all your buddies are firing at it with 50 caliber machine guns and your friend who flies helicopters unleashes a salvo of Hellfire anti-tank rockets into it and your other friend is strafing it at a rate of 4,200 30 caliber depleted uranium rounds a minute with the Gatling gun on his A-10. If there's anything left of it after it hits the ground, your other friend comes in with his C-130 with a MOAB and takes care of the rest. Caravans are the biggest piles of shiit ever. Mine had 60,000 miles on it when I finally got rid of it. I hated that thing so much it still makes me mad after 5 years if I think about it. All I have to do is see one on the road and the memories flood back. Thanks a lot for reminding me of it.

I've pulled a few of them and the only way I know is through under the car after supporting the engine

The easiest way to replace that transmission is to drop the front suspension and pull the axles out and then remove it from the engine. You will never get it out from on top.

Man its allot of bull shitt. It would be worth the money just to have a mechanic do it. Its really a big hassel doing it yourself.

There is no easy way, the only way is out the bottom
